Here is the map of France:

Attention, new this year, the release of a classification by region!

Indeed, a ranking of the players of the qualifying stages of each region will be established on SETTEO to determine the qualified pairs for the regional stages!

How to qualify?

It is very simple ! The Head Padel Open has set up an internal HPO Ranking system on Setteo with points corresponding to performances during our qualifying stages.

Players who have participated in many stages will therefore have more chances of qualifying for the regional stage! In addition, they can choose the team-mate of their choice for the regional phase (provided that their partner has aligned at least 2 qualifying stages in the region concerned). The top 6 players per region will qualify for the P1000.

Ranking (points) by qualifying stage:

  • Winning team = 1000 pts
  • Finalist Team = 600 pts
  • Semi-finalist team = 300 pts
  • Quarter finalist team = 150pts
  • Team eliminated in group = 50pts

The HPO Masters: Save the date!

Finally, a big final phase will be organized during 3 days with many surprises.

The principle will be the same as for the qualifying stages: The best pairs of the regional stages will be qualified for the Masters (Via a Ranking system Head Padel Open by Setteo).

The Master will take place on 23, 24 and 25 November 2018.

A little patience, the location will be communicated later!
