There is no entry fee.
PADL does not charge to play local qualifying, regionals, or Florida. No buy-in. No bracket fee. Other tournaments charge to enter. This one does not.
Your PPI sets your flight. Your recent verified record supports an invitation.
To qualify you must:
Be a PADL USA member on Rookie or Tour Level (Tour Level is earned, never bought)
Hold a Digital Tour Card / NFT scorecard so results can be written and verified
Build verified results against opponents within 0.50 PPI during the last 90 days. Each format keeps a separate qualifying record.
Every player who logs verified matches has a place on the tour. Only the top players in each flight are invited to Florida to compete for a championship ring.
Log verified matches, fill your Digital Tour Card, earn badges and scorecard marks. Club days and small credits.
No Florida ring — and that's the point.
