🧭 How-To: Plan the Perfect Paddle Day

Step 1: Pick your day 📅

Choose a day based on your favorite players or the stage of the tournament. Later rounds usually bring the biggest buzz.

Use GPS and allow extra travel time. If you’re going with friends, share a ride to save money.

Step 4: Arrive early ⏰

Get there with time to settle in, explore the venue and soak up the atmosphere before the first match.

Step 5: Dress for comfort 👟

Indoor venues can be cooler than you expect, so a light layer is useful. Wear comfortable shoes for walking and queues.

Step 6: Bring your phone and power bank 🔋

You’ll want to capture the atmosphere (check venue rules on photography and recording).

Step 7: Make a night of it 🌙

Global Village is right across from the venue, so you may be able to combine your match day with an evening out, depending on its opening dates and hours. Check the official schedule first.
