Where the Money Goes

Winners
75%
Runners-up
25%

Every rupee of entry fee goes back to the players. Fabits pays for the courts and the brunch, and keeps nothing. Each draw has its own pot, built from the entry fees of the teams in that draw. GST goes to the government.

What a Pot Could Look Like

Pot ₹12,980
Winners ₹9,735
Runners-up ₹3,245

Illustrative. The pot is the sum of team entry fees before GST — ₹499 per client team, ₹999 per non-client team.

The Fine Print

What counts as a Fabits client?

Someone who is currently invested through Fabits — you hold an active investment with us on the day you register. If you've signed up but haven't invested yet, the ₹999 rate applies.

Is the fee per player or per team?

Per team. ₹499 + GST covers both players if at least one of you is currently invested with Fabits. Otherwise it's ₹999 + GST for the pair.

I'm not a Fabits client. Can I come?

Yes, two ways. A client can bring you as their +1, and you can play friendly games for free. Or enter the tournament as a team at ₹999 + GST.

Can guests play?

Yes. Guests can play friendly games on the open courts for free. They're just for fun — they aren't part of the tournament and don't win prize money.

Do tournament players also get brunch?

Of course. Every player is also a guest. If you're playing, you don't need a separate guest pass.

How is the prize pot calculated?

Each draw's pot is the total of team entry fees in that draw, before GST. The winning team takes 75% and the runners-up take 25%. Fabits pays for the venue and the food, and keeps nothing from the fees.

We've never played pickleball.

That's fine. Opening-round matches are a single game, and most people pick it up within ten minutes. The open courts are a good place to practise first. Paddles and balls are provided.

How does the prize money reach us?

Bank transfer to the team captain within a week of the event. To be confirmed

Can I cancel or get a refund?

Our cancellation policy will be published before registrations open. To be confirmed

What should I wear?

Court shoes with non-marking soles if you're playing. Anything comfortable if you're here for brunch.
