Due to the impact of COVID-19, the AVP has been forced to suspend the 2020 nationwide tour & all fan-attended events. However, pro beach volleyball is still coming to your living room with the AVP Champions Cup Series Presented by Acer — three tournaments, three teams per gender crowned champions, only ONE team per gender with the ultimate reward of the Champions Cup.
While each tournament will crown its own champion & award them with the event cup, every team throughout the series will be striving to become the ultimate champion, earning them the 2020 Champions Cup & a slice of the $50K bonus purse. The recipient of the Champions Cup will be the one team per gender with the best results across all three events.
Here is what you need to know and how to follow along as beach volleyball returns to the national stage.
Every event, every match, every rally counts because the Champions Cup is on the line! Throughout all three events, the athletes will be competing for a $100K bonus prize purse, with teams being rewarded based on their average finishes among all events.
Keep up with the race and follow along below.
