And let’s face it, every once in a while, players want to be more competitive. In this article, we’ll discuss how to host the “perfect” padel tournament. [ Olle Lagerlöf ](https://playmore.matchi.com/en/matchi-insights/author/olle-lagerlöf) Mar 30, 2022 --- ## 1. Planning is key This one sort of speaks for itself, however is often overlooked or not taken seriously enough - start to plan for the event in time. At the end of the day, players come to your venue to do just that, play, and want to optimize their time - make the most of their padel experience.  ## 2. A warm welcome Just like every other successful event, you want to make your guests feel welcome - feel at home. Greet your guests when they arrive, perhaps even install a [screen](https://playmore.matchi.com/additional-products#digitalsignage) highlighting the event. A gesture that surely will leave a lasting impression and make people want to come back over and over again. ## 3. Tournament level When planning your tournament and creating communications/invitations to it - make sure to be clear about the level of players. Nobody wants to attend a tournament where they end up not having a chance in the games. If you run an open tournament, we recommend Mexicano - where the players are automatically divided into clusters based on how skilled they are. ## 4. Create an incentive We all love to win things, big or small - it’s in our nature. Gather sweatbands, water bottles or similar for the winners, naturally with your brand on. Aside from this, try to reach out to your local network, maybe there are companies that want to be involved and seen? ## 5. Easy-to-use tournament platform Secured the first four steps?
