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]
The tour was previously known as the European Championship Tour, before the CEV 2003 signed a sponsorship deal with Nestea in 2003.[2]
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]
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]
In the 2017 season, Masters events awarded €25,000 in prize money per gender with a 12–16 team main draw.[9]
