The French Tennis Federation has set up, as of the 2017 sports year, 4 approved tournament categories.

They will be determined according to the prize money (amount in euros in cash, lots not counted) .

- P100 (Padel 100): prize money from 0 € to 249 € - 4 teams minimum
- P250 (Padel 250): prize money from € 250 to € 499 - 4 teams minimum.

- P1000 (Padel 1000): prize money of 1000 € and more - 16 teams minimum, selected thanks to the ranking.

We also confirm that there are no age categories at padel. This was specified in the 2017 specifications of the FFT.

Finally whatever the format of the matches, a player will not be able to play more than 7 matches on one day.

It is also specified that the Price Money does not take into account the lots.

Finally, all tournaments of padel are found in the calendar padel HERE. An update has been made to allow players to filter tournaments by category (CAT FFT).
