Most athletes who compete on the AVP tour are from the United States, though a handful of international athletes participate as well. Al Lau, chief executive officer of the AVP, said some of the AVP’s top players won’t appear this weekend because of international competition overseas, but will likely make an appearance at Manhattan Beach in August. Up-and-comers usually make up the bottom seeds and appear at specific tournaments only. Teams with higher AVP rankings typically appear at several stops on the tour and make up the top seedings. The remaining six teams are two wild cards and four duos who earned spots based on their performances in the AVP Tour Series Muskegon Open. Of the 16 men’s and women’s teams playing in the Hermosa Beach Open, 10 automatically entered based on their AVP ranking, which is determined by points. Tier 3 and Tier 4 players have a chance to make a Pro Series or Gold Series if they play well enough. Tier 1 and Tier 2 players are the sport’s top athletes and compete for the most cash. The Gold Series that will occur in Manhattan Beach in August hosts mainly Tier 1 players, and the Pro Series at Hermosa Beach this weekend hosts mostly Tier 2 players. The 16 events of the season are divided into three series: the Gold Series, the Pro Series and the Tour Series.
