Wildcard Awards
This tournament will award 4 wildcards for the Atlanta and Belmar Main
Draws. The top four finishers in the Qualifying Tour event up to 13th
place, who don't automatically qualify for each Main Draw based on AVP entry
points, will receive a wildcard into the event. No wild cards will be awarded
below 13th place. In the case that teams eligible for the wildcard
are tied (i.e. 5th, 7th, 9th, etc.), the wildcard will be awarded based on the
highest AVP entry point ranking among the tied teams. If teams accept the
wildcard, they must notify the AVP (email
avpreg@avp.com) before May 26th by 12pm noon PST otherwise
the wildcard will be forfeited. [Note: It is possible that different teams will
receive the wildcard awards for each AVP event.]
ALL players who earn prize money MUST sign the AVP Player Agreement within one
week of the completion of the Qualifying Tour event. Players who do not sign
the agreement within this period will be ineligible for future AVP competition.

For teams that earn a wildcard spot, no partner substitutions will be allowed,
even in the event of injury.
