The International Padel Federation (FIP) has announced the launch of FIP Beyond, a new international competition circuit designed exclusively for amateur padel players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a sport that has grown rapidly at club and community level, FIP Beyond represents an important shift \u2013 placing everyday players at the centre of a structured, global competitive pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three categories: B1, B2, and B3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
FIP Beyond has been created to support participation, inclusion, and progression in amateur padel. The tour is open to players of different ages (six age categories) and abilities (three tournament categories), offering a clear framework for competition beyond local leagues and club tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Events will be organised across three levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
B1<\/strong> \u2013 The highest tier, with prize money and larger international events.<\/li>\n\n
B2<\/strong> \u2013 Competitive amateur tournaments with prize money. The tier below B1.<\/li>\n\n
B3<\/strong> \u2013 Entry-level events focused on participation and experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This tiered structure allows players to compete at a level that matches their ability, while still being part of a unified global system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Six age categories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Unlike traditional tours, FIP Beyond places strong emphasis on age-group competition. Events can include categories such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Amateur 18\u201339 (no prize money)<\/li>\n\n
40+<\/li>\n\n
45+<\/li>\n\n
50+<\/li>\n\n
55+<\/li>\n\n
60+<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Each tournament will feature a minimum number of age categories, ensuring accessibility and relevance for the majority of amateur players worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rankings & finals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Players competing on the FIP Beyond circuit will earn points towards an international amateur ranking, calculated using their best tournament results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Top players will qualify for major end-of-season events, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
FIP Beyond Finals<\/li>\n\n
Continental Cups by Pairs<\/li>\n\n
FIP Beyond World Cup by Pairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
More details on host locations, calendars, and participation will be announced soon, which we\u2019ll share on our website and on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
