FAQ
1. What is the Clinic?
The clinic is a dedicated coaching session for players. Led by some of the top players in Europe, including Thaddea Lock, and James Chaudry. 90 minutes of improving your game for that next tournament!
2. What is the Festival
It is a large pickleball social gathering - players can play as few or many games as they can throughout the day. In addition, the Premier Division of the PPL takes place so festival players can watch the best players in the country battle it out!
Box League - New Addition!
We are very excited to add another dimension to Premier Pickleball League events this year with our new optional Box Leagues!
These will run throughout the festival for players seeking to add a competitive streak to the day. Players will be matched up based on ability & gender for 4/5 player Box Leagues where you play with and against each player. Perform well in the qualifying round to progress to the finals stage and compete for prizes!
These will be administered with the help of our great partner’s RAQT on their app, with results going to DUPR. A great way for all players to gain more competitive experience whilst also improving the accuracy of their DUPR rating.
FAQs:
Can I play in both the festival and the box leagues?
Yes! That’s the plan. The box leagues will be happening throughout the day but from each individual’s point of view it will be 10-20% of their day (timewise).
How do I know who I will be matched up against?
Until we have the finalised list of players signed up all that we can say is that we will look to separate the genders and then by appropriate skill level so all entrants should be competitive in their assigned box.
Do I need RAQT and DUPR accounts to sign up?
You need to have a DUPR account to sign up for the box leagues yes. For RAQT we can create it for you and send you a link via SMS – although it’s a great app to have for all pickleballers anyway, loads of events & tournaments all across Europe have their registrations on there.
