The tournaments to be included in the 2006 Wild Card Race for Vegas are shown below. There are a few new tournaments included and there may be changes or additions made later in the year due to tournament cancellations or changes in prize money structure once the 2006 tournament calendar is set.

 The BEN Pro Ranking System is used to
determine the points earned by the participants of each tournament. The table shown below documents the number of points earned for finishes in the
Men’s Singles 501 at tournaments included on the list of the selected tournaments to determine the 3 American Wild Cards for the LVDC IV. The top 3 American
men earning the most BEN Pro Ranking Points as allocated from the table below and accumulated from all of the selected tournaments listed above will
be awarded a place in the final 32 players to compete on stage in Las Vegas in 2006. Ties will be broken by the most recent record of points earned by
those players who are tied. The American men earning Wild Cards must be citizens of the US or residents of the US holding valid green cards.
