Organising a corporate padel tournament sounds complicated, but it is surprisingly manageable once you tackle the steps in the right order. This is the route that takes the least time and gives the best result.
Step 1: Decide on group size and date
Start with two questions: how many people are taking part, and when? Those two factors shape everything that follows. A tournament of 16 people needs 4 courts. A tournament of 32 people needs 8 courts. Not every club has that capacity, so the group size determines which venues are an option.
Ideally, pick a weekday afternoon or evening. Friday is popular, but also pricier and busier. A Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon is easy to arrange at most clubs and cheaper too.
Step 2: Choose a venue and book the courts
Look for a padel club nearby that has enough courts and experience with events. Ask explicitly whether they offer an "events package". Many clubs do: a fixed court rate per time slot, including the use of a room for the prize-giving and possibly catering.
Clubs that already use Slams can set the tournament up directly in the system. Participants register through a link, the system handles the pairing and the schedule. On the day itself, the organiser has nothing to track by hand.
