Approval deadlines

As part of the organization of tournaments, the deadlines for submitting approval requests are important. For regional and departmental championships, whether in pairs or teams, these deadlines are left to the discretion of the leagues and organizing committees. Regarding tournaments, deadlines vary depending on the category:

  • For a tournament P 25, the request must be made at least 1 week before the first day of the competition.
  • For P 100, the deadline is 2 weeks.
  • For P 250, he's from 3 weeks.
  • For P 500, the deadline extends to 4 weeks.
  • And for the categories P 1000, P 1500 et P 2000, the application must be submitted 6 weeks before the start of the tournament.

If a club does not respect these deadlines, only the league concerned or the FFT, as the case may be, will have the power to decide whether or not to accept approval directly in the federal administrative database.

Probate rights

Concerning the management of approval rights, the latter are automatically debited from the account of organizing club once approval has been validated by the league or the FFT. It is important to note that it is the end date of the tournament who determines the year of approval.

For the year 2024, which extends from 1st September 2023 au August 31, 2024, the approval rights for tournaments of padel are fixed as follows:

  • They are free for tournaments exclusively young.
