Tournament Day

Built like a PRO event.

A full day, planned to the hour. Here's how October 18 runs, start to finish.

Registration

Enter as a duo.

Registration happens as a pair, right away. One open draw, no divisions — every pair just needs at least one Rez/Rez+ player (beginner to entry-level). Your details, your partner's name, and one payment for the pair.

Entry Fee 44,000 HUF per pair
Field Size Capped at 50 pairs
Registration Closes October 17, 2026 — or sooner if the field fills

Just the name — everything about the entry comes to you, and you pass it on.

Playtomic, RankedIn, Padel or PadelGO profiles if you have them — otherwise just describe it: how long you have played, roughly what level, whether one of you is stronger. It only seeds the draw.

Your entry 44,000 HUF per pair Limited to 50 pairs

Frequently asked questions

KIN Padel League is a new amateur padel series in Budapest — one open draw, real prize money, organized like a PRO event. It's built by a small team of competitive players and organizers who got tired of chaotic, one-off amateur tournaments and set out to run a fair, professional one instead. The event is the point, so we keep the focus on the padel, not on personalities.
The first Budapest Open deserves a full draw, and the extra weeks get us there. It now runs on Sunday, 18 October. Everyone already registered keeps their place, with nothing more to pay.
Any amateur pair with at least one Rez or Rez+ player, who can partner with Rez/Rez+, Bronze or Silver. A pair with neither — two Bronze, two Silver, or Bronze with Silver — cannot enter. Beyond that it is one open draw, with no separate divisions to pick.
As a duo, in one step — and we only ask for your own contact details, so you never have to go hunting for your partner's. Your name, email and phone, your partner's name, and a line about how the two of you play. Submitting reserves your pair's place and gives you a payment reference; the entry fee is then transferred within 48 hours.
There are no categories to pick — one open draw for everyone. We ask for each player's Playtomic, RankedIn, Padel or PadelGO profile so we can seed the groups fairly. If you don't have one, just describe your background at registration — how long you've played or your level — and we'll seed you from that.
Organizers seed all 50 pairs into balanced groups using the ratings you submit, so early matches stay competitive. Organizers reserve the right to adjust seeding, or decline an entry, after reviewing all registrations.
By bank transfer to the organiser's Hungarian account. When you submit the form you get a payment reference like KIN-0007 together with our account details — on screen straight away, and by email. Every field has a copy button, so nothing needs retyping: tap, switch to your banking app, paste. Hungarian instant transfers arrive in seconds, day or night. Put the reference in the payment message, otherwise we cannot match your transfer to your registration. The transfer has to land within 48 hours: after that the reference expires and the place goes back into the field.
Cancel 5 or more days before the tournament and the entry fee isn't transferred back — we keep the full amount as a credit for your pair, usable at any future KIN PADEL LEAGUE event, including with a substitute in place of one of you. Cancel later than that, or don't show up on the day, and the fee isn't refunded. If we cancel the event, the full entry fee is transferred back to the account it came from. Full details in the Refund Policy.
Breakfast on tournament day, a welcome drink, new balls, the participant kit — a branded KIN towel and water bottle, yours to keep — and photo and video coverage.
Registration closes October 17, 2026, or as soon as all 50 pairs are taken — whichever comes first. The field is capped at 50 pairs.
One day, October 18 — groups in the morning, knockouts through the afternoon, finals in the evening. A consolation round runs in parallel, so pairs knocked out early keep playing.
