Event Details

There are 2 possible scenarios to register a team in the Padel Business League:

1st scenario: all players of the team must be part of the same organization (company, association, public service). In this case, each registered player will have to justify his or her membership in the organisation by presenting a proof of his or her choice: KBIS, employment contract, salary statement or business card.
2nd case of figure: all the players of the team are workers of the same trade (and not necessarily of the same company). In this case, the players can be employees or self-employed.
All players of a team must respect one of these two conditions, it is not possible to make a mix of these two conditions to make a team (example: 2 players of the same company + 2 confreres who are not part of the company)

As a reminder, you will have to justify the membership of each player in the company by presenting a proof of your choice: KBIS, employment contract, salary statement or business card. In the case of self contractors or liberal professions, invoices will also be accepted.

The organization reserves the right to disqualify a team without notice and without refund any team not complying with this settlement point.

Minimum age

The minimum age for the championship is 16.

FFT License

It is not necessary to have a FFT classification to participate in the qualifying phase of the competition.
However all players qualified for the final phase of MASTERS must have a FFT license if they wish to play during this final phase (possible to take it on site).

Distribution of levels

The championship will be divided according to the club into several categories of level: ROOKIES and OUTSIDERS.

Once registration is complete, the ORGANIZER with the help of the PARTNER CLUB will form groups according to the level of the teams. These groups will be formed in a first place according to the FFT ranking of the participants of each team, but also according to the knowledge of the club on the level of each participant.

In the absence of a FFT ranking of the players, the ORGANISER will be free to equate their level to an FFT ranking, and thus to register the companies in the category he considers most appropriate. He will have the responsibility to form these hens in all objectivity, with the sole aim of ensuring the best possible development of the competition.

The ORGANIZER and the CLUB will be able to use as a reference point the level scale from 1 to 10 used by the vast majority of clubs in France:

The ROOKIES category will bring together players from level 1 to 4 on average
The OUTSIDERS category will bring together players from level 5 to 8 on average
Teams may integrate players who are stronger than the average in the category in which they play, but they will have to respect the team weight constraints below for each match.

Team weight compliance by category

At each meeting, companies must compose their teams according to the following FFT classification constraints:

For the ROOKIES category
Individual maximum ranking: #5000 for men and #250 for women
Minimum weight for 100% men: 10,000 or more
Minimum weight for a mixed pair: 5,250 or more
For the OUTSIDERS category: no classification constraints
As a reminder: the team weight is the result of the addition of the individual rankings of both players.

FORMAT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPETITION

All matches will be played in the club where you register, during one dedicated day.

Format 1 Saturday :

After the registration, the teams will be grouped into level groups with 4 or 5 teams.
Each team meets for a minimum of 4 matchs
The winners of each group will automatically be qualified for the PBL Masters in their category.
A meeting between two teams gives rise to a single match in the format of 2 winning sets in 6 games with advantages, super tie break in case of 3rd set. The teams will be able to send different pairs to each match in order to involve as many collaborators as possible!
It is possible to change one of the two players of the team at each end of the set, provided that he is registered in the competition. There will be no warm-up after this change.

The results are recorded according to the following scale:

Win: 3 points
Loss: 1 point
WO: 0 pts

The ranking will be updated on our dedicated page: Calendar & Results

In case of a tie of points between two teams, the final ranking will be determined according to the direct confrontation or 2 confrontations between these teams. In the event that both teams have won a victory each, the winner will be decided by the number of sets won and then by the number of games (always based on direct confrontations).

Cancellation and postponement of meetings:

The PARTNER CLUB and the ORGANIZER may decide to postpone the day of matches if the weather forecast is bad and if the club cannot provide access to covered fields. The team will be notified at least 48 hours before and a new date will be decided.
In case of cancellation by a company, the captain must inform the ORGANISER at least 72h in advance to try to postpone his scheduled matches. Once the notice period is exceeded or in case of company No-show: the company in error will have to reschedule the matches with the opposing teams, who will be at its expense. The organisation will not be responsible for any postponement of the match following a cancellation without delay. If this match cannot be rescheduled due to organizational constraints, the offending company will be forfeited for the day.

THE PBL MASTERS

By participating in the Padel Business League, each team has the opportunity to qualify for the PBL MASTERS which will take place from 15 to 17 March 2024 in Toulouse (dates to be confirmed).

The PBL Masters will be certified by the FFT:
