The Nestea European Championship Tour (or the European Beach Volleyball Tour) is a European beach volleyball tour organised by the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV). It is the highest ranked European series of beach volleyball tournaments. [1]

Contents

The tour was previously known as the European Championship Tour, before the CEV 2003 signed a sponsorship deal with Nestea in 2003. [2]

Categories

The European Tour consists of Satellite and Masters events, culminating with the European Beach Volleyball Championships. [3] From the 2018 season onwards, the Satellite and Masters events have been merged into the FIVB World Tour, but are still organised by the CEV. [4]

Challenger and Satellite

The Challenger and Satellite events are a series of grassroots tournaments that serve as a developmental circuit for the FIVB World Tour. [5] [6] These tournaments award less prize money (€4,000–15,000) and FIVB ranking points than Masters events. [7] The Challenger and Satellite circuit was previously organised by the FIVB, who handed over the organising of these events to the continental volleyball confederations in 2009. [8]

Masters

In the 2017 season, Masters events awarded €25,000 in prize money per gender with a 12–16 team main draw. [9]
