Why padel

Rotating pairs means you play alongside more people in two hours than you meet in eighteen holes.

You do not need to be good at padel. Nobody in this field is. What you need is two free hours on the Tuesday afternoon and a willingness to be introduced to people CIBA thinks you should know.

Pairs rotate through the tournament, so you are not stuck with one partner for the afternoon. Pairings are set from the business matching data collected at registration.

Two hours, and you will have played alongside half the field.

Thirty two players. Four courts. Pairs rotate, so the person across the net keeps changing.

What is included

Turn up and play

  • Two hours of tournament play across four courts
  • Racquet rental and balls
  • Rotating pairs, set by the CIBA business matching team
  • Prize-giving from 18:00, with cocktail snacks and a beverage
