The Tour Invite Policy was started in 2009 and for next year we have taken 2009 as a base and made a few changes.
The main changes for 2010 are that there will be 9 Tour Cards guaranteeing invites to 6 events not including the final event, the invites for which will be performance based. The top three from 2009 will be offered Tour Cards. A pool of 20 teams will be invited to bid for 3 Tour cards and the Tour will control 3 Tour Cards.
There will be 9 events on the 2010 Tour and there will now be a Tour Bonus of US$250,000 to be shared amongst the top 9 teams.
