Frequently Asked Questions - 2026 Championships
How do you qualify for a French Championship?
Qualification must go through the departmental or regional championships. Only the champions (and sometimes the finalists) get the precious ticket to the national final phase.
Why are the women's events separated?
In order to promote the women's elite and guarantee maximum media exposure, the FFPJP organizes dedicated events (Doublette, Triplette, Individual) alongside the men's events.
