About the Scottish Beach Volleyball Tour Championship.  The Tour takes place across the summer months with a total of 8 qualifying events visiting beaches across Scotland including Ayr, Troon, St Andrews, Dundee and Edinburgh.

To qualify for the finals, competitors have to have played in a minimum of 4 tour events.  Players are awarded valuable tour ranking points based on their finishing position in qualifying events.  These ranking points are accumulated and the teams championship seeding is determined.

A player may partner someone who they may not have played with through the season in order to give them a better seed and possibly a better chance of being crowned championship team and take a chunk of the £700 cash prize pot.

The top 8 qualifying pairs take part in the Scottish Beach Volleyball Tour Championship Final held at Portobello Beach, Edinbugh in a one-day event which in 2019 is on Saturday 7 September.  The line-up typically includes Scottish Internationalists, Commonwealth Games athletes and Scottish Olympians.  The winners are crowned Scottish Bach Volleyball Tour Championship Team for that year.
