Wildcard Awards
The tournament will award 4 wildcards for the Charleston and
Louisville Main Draws. The top four finishers in the Qualifying Tour
event, who don't automatically qualify for each Main Draw based on AVP
entry points, will receive a wildcard into the event. 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. Teams must accept the wildcard and
register for the Charleston and Louisville Main Draw events within a
week of the end of Qualifying Tour event; otherwise, the wildcard will
be forfeited and offered to the next highest finisher from the
Qualifying Tour event. [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.

allowed, even in the event of injury.
