New Regulations in World Padel Tour 2021
1. Player registration date extended
Until last year the registration deadline used to be Tuesday at noon of the week before the final phase of the tournament. From this 2021 the registration deadline will go to Thursday of the same week, that is, players will have 2 more days to sign up for tournaments.

Other news in the regulations will be given in the restructuring of the playing tables when casualties are confirmed.
Thus, if the withdrawal takes place before 18:00 on the day before the start of the event, that is, the first match of the pre-qualifying phase, the table will be restructured as follows:
a) If the couple that causes withdrawal is from the main draw (couple 1st to 24th / 28th of the list of entries): The place will be occupied by the head of series number 1 of the previous table. If there is a second casualty, it will be occupied by the seeded number 2 of the previous one, etc.
b) If the couple that causes withdrawal is from the previous one (couple 25º / 40º to 41º / 45º of the list of registered): the place will be occupied by the heads of series number 1 of the pre-qualifying table. In the event that there was a second casualty, it would be occupied by the seeded number 2, and so on.
c) If the partner who causes leave is from the previous one: in this case, the first couple discarded from the registered list will be the winner and will occupy the place of the couple that causes withdrawal.
