Red Bull Padel Dash: Qualifikation

Red Bull Padel Dash is an amateur padel series with a special twist for players with an intermediate to good level of play: it is played in time-based padel dash mode instead of the usual sets and can be ended early by the teams by hitting the buzzer. You can register now at our tournaments in Studen BE, Affeltrangen TG, Rümlang ZH and Salgesch VS and qualify for the Swiss final on October 10, 2026 in Rümlang ZH. The best team in the national final will win an all-inclusive trip to the world final in late fall, where they will represent Switzerland against over 20 other nations. The game is played in two categories: Men and Women.

How does the tournament work?

All teams are assigned to a group of 8 teams in total. All matches in a group start at the same time and last a maximum of 7 minutes. During this time, the teams try to collect as many points as possible. If the 7 minutes are completely used up, the game ends normally and all points are recorded. If a team manages to score 16 points before the time runs out, they can press the buzzer and end all games in the round in one go. They also receive a bonus point on top. In other words: every point and every second counts!

The team with the most points at the end of the tournament wins and gets a ticket to the Swiss final as well as prizes from our equipment partner HEAD.
