How the tournament works
- 24 players split into 2 groups of 12 (A, B), seeded by Playtomic level.
- Everyone plays 6 group matches with rotating partners. Every match is 20 points — you keep the points you score.
- Only the top 8 in each group progress. Everyone below that is out. 2 groups × 8 = 16 players into the Quarter-Finals.
- Quarter-Finals (16 players) run on a different format — a cross-group draw straight off the group tables: A1+B8 v A8+B1, A2+B7 v A7+B2, A3+B6 v A6+B3, A4+B5 v A5+B4. No survivor leaderboard at this stage. Winning pairs go through — 8 players left.
- The survivor leaderboard only opens after the Quarter-Finals. Semi-Finals: partnerships are broken and the 8 survivors are re-ranked individually on total points. SF1 = 1st+5th v 4th+8th, SF2 = 2nd+6th v 3rd+7th. 4 players left.
- Final: re-rank the last 4 — 1st+3rd v 2nd+4th, worth 32 points. Highest total points decides the individual order.

Final · 4 players
- Re-rank the final 4 individually by accumulated points. Split the semi-final partnerships.

- The winning team wins the Final. Final individual order is decided by total accumulated points.
The golden rule
The Quarter-Finals (16 players) are a cross-group draw: Group A pairs with Group B (A1+B8, A2+B7, A3+B6, A4+B5, A5+B4, A6+B3, A7+B2, A8+B1) — the survivor leaderboard does not apply here. From the Semi-Finals onwards, break up the partnerships and re-rank all surviving players individually by accumulated points on the survivor leaderboard: Semi-Finals 1+5 v 4+8 and 2+6 v 3+7, Final 1+3 v 2+4. Group and Quarter-Final matches are 20 points, Semi-Finals 24 points and the Final 32 points. Points are cumulative from the group stage all the way to the Final. Player of the Match runs to the Final — winner gets the Lamborghini Padel Racket.
Tie-breakers: 1) total points, 2) Points Diff (points scored minus points conceded across all matches — e.g. 96 scored, 74 conceded = +22), 3) matches won, 4) Player of the Match awards.
