Festival
Format
The only padel tournament mode that runs several levels
at once on shared courts.
The story
One tournament day, multiple levels, no waiting around.
The classic problem: you're organising a padel event for your whole club. Level 6, 7/8 and 9 all want in. But you only have 4 courts. Running them one after another means some players wait 4 hours. Running them in parallel isn't possible: not enough courts.
Festival Format solves it. Each level takes its turn across all the courts. Players are on site at the same time, get rest between rounds, watch each other's matches and grab a drink at the bar. Buzz. A festival vibe. No wrestling with blocks in a spreadsheet.
How it works
Courts switch level every round.
Example: Sunday 30 August, 9:00–14:00, 4 courts
…and so on until 14:00
Courts always in use
No empty-court moments. Full use of court time, a higher ROI per hour.
Rest with momentum
Players don't wait for hours, they're back on court every 30 to 45 minutes. Time for drinks and networking.
Everyone watches along
Level 9 players watch level 6 and the other way round. Social cohesion grows.
Who it's for
Fits more occasions than you'd think.
Padel clubs with multi-level days
One Saturday, several levels, everyone involved. No more "level 9 at 9am, level 6 at 1pm".
Company tournaments
Colleagues of different levels want to play at the same time and network in between. Festival is perfect.
Club parties and anniversaries
Padel plus drinks plus everyone on site. The rotating format brings the party feel without the logistical chaos.
Sponsor events
Sponsors want to meet every player. With Festival, all levels bump into each other during the breaks.
