In the competition guide of padel in April 2019, the French Tennis Federation explains to us the modalities in case of a package of a pair in the process of the French championships of padel 2019.

1 - League Champion Team Package:

1. Before the distribution of the lists by the FFT (Friday 16 August 2019):

  In this case, the 1st substitute team of the League on the list communicated to the FFT is automatically qualified and the League has the possibility of replacing its failing team by a 5th team having participated in the Regional Championship. It thus completes its registration form with another team that participated in the Regional Championship, and thus always keeps 3 teams in the list of qualifying teams.

2. After the distribution of the lists by the FFT (Friday 16 August 2019) and at the latest on Wednesday 25 September at 19h, ie 24h before the drawing of the table:

  This WO intervening after the distribution of the lists, the League will not be able to register a new 5th team to replace the failing team. We will then pick the 1st team on the list of substitute teams, whatever the League of this team.

3. After the diffusion of the paintings : after this period, no replacement will be allowed and the team will be declared forfeit.

2 - Package of a team among the 3 qualifying teams of the League:

1. Before the distribution of the lists by the FFT (Friday 16 August 2019):

  In this case, the League has the possibility of replacing its failing team with a 5th team having participated in the Regional Championship. It thus completes its registration form with another team that participated in the Regional Championship, and thus always keeps 3 teams in the list of qualifying teams.

2. After the distribution of the lists by the FFT (Friday 16 August 2019) and at the latest on Wednesday 25 September at 19h, ie 24h before the drawing of the table:

  This WO intervening after the distribution of the lists, the League will not be able to register a new 5th team to replace the failing team. In this case, we will take the first team on the list of substitute teams, regardless of the League of this team.

3. After the diffusion of the paintings: after this period, no replacement will be allowed and the team will be declared forfeit.

3 - Package of one of the 2 players of a qualified team (League Champion or not):

1. Before the distribution of the lists by the FFT (Friday 16 August 2019):

  The league has the opportunity to replace the defaulting player among the participants in the regional championship.   By “player having participated in the regional championship” is meant any player registered in a team having appeared in the table of the regional qualifying phase, without taking into account the WO or not of this team. Thus, the League can still keep the registration of 4 complete teams since the lists have not been distributed.

2. After the distribution of the lists by the FFT (Friday August 16, 2019) and no later than Thursday September 26 at 19 p.m., i.e. 24 hours before the draw:

  The League has the possibility of replacing the defaulting player with a player who participated in the Regional Championship. However, the team can not under any circumstances strengthen., Consequently, according to the classification of the new player - necessarily lower than or equal to the player having withdrawn (classification of the month of August) and therefore of the new weight of the team, the League can either keep its place among the drafted teams. , or switch to the list of draft teams and lose this place.

   If the League decides to declare the WO team, we return to the case of the previous forfeit 2 - b

3. After the diffusion of the paintings: after this period, no replacement will be allowed and the team will be declared forfeit.
