Participation in the Amateur Padel Charity Tournament (hereafter referred to as "the Tournament") constitutes full acceptance of the terms and conditions detailed in these regulations.
To participate, each player must complete a registration form that includes their personal details and a confirmation of agreement to these regulations.
The participation fee is ₪5,000 per player. The Tournament is open exclusively to amateur padel players who are classified at the C or D level. Professional padel or tennis players, coaches, or individuals ranked A or B are not eligible to participate.
Initial registration must be submitted through the official Tournament website: www.apct.co.il. Following submission, the Tournament Manager will review each application. Upon approval, the registrant will receive a link to the payment page to finalize registration.
Registration becomes valid only after full payment is received and explicit approval is granted by the Tournament Manager.
Any participant who receives financial compensation for their participation is disqualified from competing in the Tournament.
During Phase A (group stage), each team will play a minimum of three matches. These matches will follow a one-set format. The top two teams from each group, based on accumulated points, will advance to Phase B.
Phase B (knockout stage) will consist of matches played in a best-of-three sets format. Approximately half of the teams (depending on total participants) will advance to this stage.
From Phase B onwards, the Tournament will follow a single-elimination format, meaning that any loss results in immediate elimination.
All participation fees will be deposited into a trust account and subsequently donated to charitable organizations, in accordance with these regulations.
The top three winning teams (1st to 3rd place) will select the organizations to receive the donation. Selected organizations must be registered Israeli non-profits with no political affiliations. It is the responsibility of the winners to verify the legal eligibility of the chosen organizations under Israeli law.
After the donation is made, the recipient organizations will receive an official letter including the name of the Tournament and the names of the winning participants on whose behalf the donation was given. Participants wishing to remain anonymous must inform the Tournament Manager in writing ahead of time.
