SWEDISH BEACH TOUR 2011
С большим уважением отношусь к людям, которые держат свое слово. Шведы обещали сообщить условия участия иностранных игроков в их национальном туре и прислали.
Наверное все про тур можно найти на шведском сайте, но там придется слегка поднапрячь голову, дабы разобраться со шведским, но тем не менее...

Swedish Beach Tour calendar 2011
Prize money
The amount mentioned in the calendar above is the sum of the prize money for both genders
(50/50) including the bonus pool (20 000 SEK at each event). Foreign players are according to
Swedish law obligated to pay tax which will be withdrawn from the prize money.
Technical info
Each event, except for the Swedish Championship tournament (32 teams per gender) and the
event in Falkenberg (12 teams per gender), will be played in an eight-team double elimination
format with semi-finals and finals, both men and women.
Qualification
The eight teams will qualify in three different ways. Four teams will qualify according to the
Swedish ranking, two teams will qualify through a qualification tournament (played the week
before each event) and the final two teams will qualify with wild cards. If less than two wild cards
are applied, more players will qualify through the Swedish ranking.
Wild card
The ambition is to have at least one foreign team in each event (each gender) on the tour. The
wild cards will be administrated by a committee within the Swedish Volleyball Association.
