Judging
The Panel
Independent judges drawn from across European padel — players, operators, coaches, media and industry.
How judging works
Every nomination is checked for eligibility, then grouped by category and put to the panel. Judges score against published criteria, and no judge scores a category in which they, their employer or their club has been nominated.
The panel for 2027 is being assembled now and will be published here in full, with each judge named and their background stated, before shortlists are announced.
Join the panel
We are looking for judges with genuine standing in European padel and no conflict of interest across a broad set of categories. If that sounds like you, or someone you know, get in touch and tell us which categories you could judge and why.
