The purpose of this study was to analyse and compare the frequency and efficacy of the technical and tactical actions between winning and losing men's teams in beach volleyball (World Tour). The sample of this study was composed of the actions executed by 91 players in 13,939 rallies, corresponding to 84 matches (179 sets) of the 2008 men's World Tour beach volleyball organised by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB). An action's performance was evaluated in relation to the success of the action and the options it gave the opponent. The data analysis included occurrence, coefficient, ratios, and performance efficacy. A univariant, discriminant analysis of the data was done. Winning teams had significantly higher coefficients and efficacy for the serve, reception, set, and side-out spike. Winning teams are differentiated from losing teams by the serves that allowed no attack options, block points, serve points, and counter-attack points. Success was achieved by men's beach volleyball teams through the interaction of different game skills. The unrelated analysis of the actions risks misinterpretation of the data. The use of different performance values for the various skills is recommended for the analysis of their performances.
