International Wildcard Information
A maximum of 2 International Wild Cards (IWC) may be issued for the Main Draw and an additional maximum of 4 IWC may be issued for the Qualifying Tournament per gender.
In principle, only 1 team per gender from any country other than from Oceania may be accepted into a Beach Tour event at the sole discretion of the TCC.
In the case where there are more Wild Card applications than available places, a Wild Card Selection Committee may be created and at their sole discretion, will decide all Wild Cards. The WCSC will be comprised of:
- Volleyball Australia CEO – representing the commercial and political interests of the ABVT & VA
- Volleyball Australia National Performance Director – representing the High Performance and Development opportunities for VA athletes
- Beach Tour Tournament Director – representing the State Tours, the Tour itself and the operational deliverables of the Beach Tour
Any person of the WCSC has the right to nominate a different representative as they deem necessary.
Entry into all Beach Tour events will close 28 days prior to the 1st competition day for International Teams (including teams comprising of 1 x Australian player and 1 x International player) and 21 days prior to the 1st competition day for Australian Teams unless advertised otherwise.
International teams entered will be notified of their entry (successful or not) 21 days prior to the 1st competition day to an event.
