Entry & Eligibility

How the Main Draw Is Filled

Pro event entry priority

01Signed Touring ProsOnly players on a PPA contract are guaranteed a spot in the main draw. Any signed player who does not make the main draw is guaranteed a place in qualifying.
02Pairs with one contracted playerIn doubles and mixed doubles, a pair with one PPA-contracted player has a stronger chance of direct main-draw entry than a pair where neither player is contracted.
03PPA Points, then DUPRRemaining spots are ordered by PPA Points (World Pickleball Ranking), then by DUPR rating. Once the main draw is full, remaining teams fill qualifying in the same order.

There is no fixed entry threshold. Whether a pair needs to play the qualifying round depends on how many PPA-contracted players register in that category and how big the draw is. Pairs where neither player holds a PPA contract are likely to compete in the qualifying round.

Ineligible Touring Players (ITP)

ITPs are players who were offered a contract but did not sign, whose contract has expired, or who signed with a competing tour.

In Europe, ITP players may compete, but they cannot enter events worth more than 125 points. That makes them eligible for 125-point and 75-point events, and not for 250- and 500-point events — those are designed for touring pros and aspiring touring pros fighting for WPR points and hoping to earn a contract.

Rules

The Rulebook

PPA Tour Europe plays to the official UPA-A Rulebook — the same book that governs the PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball. It applies to both amateur and pro divisions at PPA Tour Europe events.

The rules on this page are the ones specific to Europe. Anything not covered here follows the rulebook.

ITP players may compete, capped at 125-point events.
Draw sizes of 32 to 64, set per event by the tournament director.
