Young Guns
AVP Young Guns Tour
The second way to earn AVP points is by participating in the AVP Young Guns Tour. The Young Guns Tour is designed as a way for up and coming players to accumulate main draw points and some prize money. The 2009 Young Guns Tour will consist of six, two-day, double elimination tournaments. These events do not run in conjunction with AVP Crocs Tour events. Main draw players, defined as players ranked 1-48 individually on the AVP tour at the time of the event, are not allowed to play in these events. AVP.com will be updated with the latest rankings.
Young Guns Tour participants will receive AVP main draw points based on their finish, but don’t receive automatic berths into main draw events. Seeding of each tournament will be based on AVP points already accumulated.
Registration for the Young Guns Tour will be handled by the local promoter hosting the event. The complete 2009 Young Guns Tour schedule with promoter and registration information is below.
