APP Announces Robust 2024 Event Calendar

2024 APP event calendar will feature a minimum 20 events, between APP Tour stops, APP Signature competitions, Next Gen and International matches; includes enhanced pro-player prize fund, and increased digital and linear broadcast packages

The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) has announced its initial overview of 2024 events, featuring a minimum of 20 competitions throughout the year.

Beginning in January 2024, the APP will embark on its strongest calendar in the organization’s history, including enhanced APP Tour and APP Next Gen events, the introduction of APP Signature competitions, more international tournament partnerships, significantly increased pro-player prize money, and an expanded broadcast package across digital and linear platforms. The 2024 APP Tour will feature a minimum of 12 events in total – four APP Tour Majors and eight APP Tour Primary tournaments. APP Tour Majors will be held at the largest and best facilities in the world - in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, New York City, and Southern California - and feature higher purses for pro players, an elevated experience for fans, and enhanced television coverage. APP Tour Major tournaments will offer triple the prize money of 2023 Tour events, paying out a minimum of $150,000 per event and Primary events will offer double the prize money of 2023 Tour events, increasing the purse to $100,000 per event.

In 2024, the APP will increase its commitment to bringing professional and recreational pickleball into the homes and onto the devices of pickleball fans through an enhanced digital and linear broadcast package.  Full details of a greatly enhanced digital and linear broadcast slate will be announced shortly.

A significant addition to the 2024 calendar will be APP Signature Events, which will be held annually, and feature new formats designed to give professional and amateur players more opportunities to compete and earn prize money. The first APP Signature Event of 2024 will be the APP Collegiate Championships, held January 3-7, and will feature the top college pickleball teams from across the nation. Venue, format, and registration details of the APP Collegiate Championships will be announced next week. Other APP Signature Events include:

• The AARP Champions Cup: a tournament specifically designed for players 50 and above
• The APP Women’s Open: an event built to showcase the sport’s top women pro and amateur players, and elevate the women’s game
• The APP U.S. Indoor Championships: an annual indoor event that travels to cities across the country
• The APP Atlantic Cup: an international team-based competition pitting Team USA against Team Europe

More APP Signature Events will be announced throughout 2024, and beyond. Rounding out the 2024 APP event calendar in the US are three APP Next Gen tournaments, where aspiring pickleball professionals aged 16-23 participate in tournaments against their peers, and receive mentorship from APP Next Gen National Team Head Coaches who will be in attendance at tournaments, offering input and on-site coaching. Additionally, the members of the 2024 APP Next Gen National Team will be announced in January 2024.

In addition, the APP will continue to drive and support the rapid growth of pickleball worldwide, building on the organization’s partnerships in England, Spain, Sweden, India and Australia, with new international announcements forthcoming. The APP is proud of its status as the primary driver of competitive and recreational pickleball globally. “The APP has gone from strength to strength in 2023, and we are excited to build on the successes we have enjoyed this year,” commented Tom Webb, Chief Marketing Officer of the APP. “We will have bigger and better tournaments than ever before, featuring more prize money for the pro players and a bigger broadcast package. We are adding a minimum of five groundbreaking new tournaments through our APP Signature Events, and we continue to find and develop America’s future pickleball stars through the APP Next Gen series and our international pursuits. We lead the world in growing pickleball, and we are only just getting started.”

Following the recent conclusion of the 2023 APP Chicago Open, the largest-ever pickleball tournament in Illinois, and featured on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 , the 2023 APP Tour continues in Avalon, New Jersey with the 2023 APP Sunmed New Jersey Open, livestreamed on APPTV and televised on Monday, September 11 on CBS Sports Network from 8 –9pm ET.

The complete 2024 APP event schedule, featuring dates, locations, venues, and broadcast information will be announced in the coming weeks.

APP Announces 2021 Tour Schedule & Event Updates

• December 5, 2020

• Comments:: DISQUS_COMMENTS

ERICEIRA, Portugal - After a frustrating 'leap year' for global sport, the APP is proud to announce its return to action for 2021 with a full line up of events spanning the globe and set to provide the World's Best Athletes with a phenomenal and well-rounded challenge in their quest for the World Title.

2021 sees the most high profile line up of City Events yet for the APP World Tour as its City Paddle Festival approach goes from strength to strength and will provide a welcome return to the outdoors for world class action and all inclusive fun.

Meanwhile for surfing, while the timing for Sunset Beach (February) is too challenging for us to move forward with its inclusion in the 2021 schedule, it will be a welcomed return to Tahiti, a new adventure in Portugal and a homecoming for the Grand Final and crowning of the 2021 Surfing World Champions in Gran Canaria.

There have been a few important changes to the schedule since our provisional schedule announcement last month, namely the postponement of Sunset Beach and Denmark to 2022 and the replacement of Barbados with Portugal. We are also awaiting a final decision on which of two venues will host the prestigious World Tour Opener for 2021. More detail is included below, but here is the final line up for 2021:

• World Tour Open, location tba (Race 1) : Late May / early June (final dates tbc)
• London, UK (Race 2) : 30th July - 1st August
• Switzerland (Race 3) : 6th - 8th August
• Tahiti (Surf 1) : 11th - 18th September
• Osaka, Japan (Race 5) : 24th - 26th September
• San Diego, USA (Race 6) : 1st - 3rd October
• Maui, Hawaii (Race 7): 14th - 17th October
• Portugal (Surf 2) : 9th - 14th November
• Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Surf 3) : 20th - 28th November
• Paris, France (Race 8) : 3rd - 5th December

While all dates and venues have been locked in and all precautions have been taken and possible scenarios planned for as it relates to the global pandemic, we still remain at the mercy of national and global restrictions and other effects of the current global crisis. However, after a frustrating 2020, the APP has taken every step possible to ensure that the show can and will go on in 2021! We look forward to seeing you all there.

Surfing Tour

There are a few important updates from our provisional release last month concerning:

Sunset Beach:

The APP has been working tirelessly to figure out a solution for the complex challenges and uncertainty facing delivering a World Tour event in February at Sunset Beach, and is disappointing to have to announce that it will not be possible in 2021.

Given the global surge in Covid-19 cases and uncertainty surrounding global travel for the next few months, coupled with the challenges of hosting an event in a public beach park in Hawaii during this pandemic, we have been forced to postpone our iconic Sunset Beach event until 2022.

However, the APP will be back on Oahu's North Shore in February of 2022, as one of the most iconic events in the sport's history will once again take center stage.

Tahiti will open the Tour in style in 2021

• Tahiti: 11th - 18th September, 2021

While we have been forced to skip Hawaii for Surfing in 2021, we will remain in Polynesia for the opening event of the surf season, with the welcomed return to Tahiti in September. With a new venue in the works for 2021, we are excited to be back in this South Pacific paradise, and to include a World Class left-hander into the mix to challenge the World's very best SUP surfers.

The timing could not be better for a return to Tahiti, with the reigning World Champion, Poenaiki Raioha hailing from the Islands together with the need to add a world class left to the mix of spots on the Surfing World Tour.

It is also the return to a venue steeped in heritage for the APP World Tour, where history was made in 2010 with the inaugural and groundbreaking event at Sapinus and a legacy was built over the years in a destination where Paddling and Surfing are so firmly entrenched in the culture.

Portugal replaces Barbados

• Portugal: 7th - 14th November

Given the challenging year that 2020 has been for global tourism, we are disappointed to announce that Barbados has been withdrawn from the calendar for 2021. However it is not a goodbye, but a see you soon, as we continue to work hand in hand with Barbados Tourism to bring the APP back to Barbados as soon as is possible.

We are however proud to reinstate Portugal into the 2021 calendar! This is a development that we are extremely excited about, not least because of the incredible run of swell that this wave rich coastline has been blessed with during the month of November this year, with the official dates for the 2021 edition running from the 7th - 14th November.

This also provides an ideal pairing of events with the Final in Gran Canaria, being just a short 2 hour flight from Lisbon and with the two events running back to back. This facilitates real economies for our traveling athletes and a phenomenal close to the 2021 season.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will be a homecoming for the Tour

• Gran Canaria: 20th - 28th November

We are once again excited to return to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for the climactic close of the 2021 season, at a venue that has delivered so much over the past few years of action on the APP World Tour. From the Island's laid back vibe, to the incredible surf that we have witnessed over the event's history, with climactic closes to both the 2018 and 2019 seasons in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. We expect no less in 2021, and look forward to returning to this ideal European Winter escape to wrap another spectacular surf season on the APP World Tour.

Regional Tour

2021 will bring the City Paddle Festival concept to life across our global program, providing participation opportunities for all and a showcase of World Championship Tour action at the heart of some of the World's most recognizable cities.

The 2021 APP World Tour will also provide a regional focus to the global program, with logical legs for the Tour and a manageable schedule for our global Athletes.

World Tour Opener

We have an interesting scenario for the World Tour Opener, where we have two venues vying to host this prestigious event that will kick off the 2021 season. Given the current global environment, this process has taken longer to conclude than we would have hoped, but we expect to be able to announce the location and final dates within the next few weeks.

However, we can confirm that the window for this opening event will be late May / early June, to allow sufficient time for the World to stabilize and global travel issues to ease.

The European Triple Crown

• London, UK : 31st July - 2nd August
• Switzerland : 6th - 8th August
• Paris : 3rd - 5th December

We are extremely excited to announce the launch of our new European Triple Crown: a series of 3 high profile World Championship Tour stops and City Paddle Festivals held in some of Europe's most recognizable cities. This trilogy of events will provide some of the most magical backdrops imaginable coupled with some of the most dramatic race courses the Tour has ever seen, utilizing the natural environment to deliver both technical elements for the racers and a dramatic sporting showcase for spectators.

It should be noted that Denmark has been withdrawn from the 2021 schedule due to sensitivity at a city level of too many events taking place in the metropolitan area too early during the exit from the global pandemic. However, we are happy to report that the multi-year commitment from the venue for the hosting of an official stop on the APP World Tour is set to kick off in 2022.

With a prestigious Triple Crown Title on the line for the world's best at the culmination of the 3 events and the Tour in Paris, the competition will be that much more intense, set to the backdrop of some of the world's most iconic landmarks. It will be a show not to be missed, and there will be an opportunity to participate across all 3 stops, regardless of age, gender or ability: in short, there will be something for everyone.

Asia (September)

• Osaka, Japan : 24th - 26th September

It will then be a return to Osaka, Japan for the 5th stop of the Tour, as the APP will build on the foundations laid with the inaugural event in 2019 to deliver another world class and immersive experience at the heart of this unforgettable city. With some exciting new changes for 2021, Osaka promises to be one of the real highlights of the APP World Championship Tour and certainly one not to be missed.

US Cup (October)

• San Diego, California : 1st - 3rd October
• Maui : 14th - 17th October

The Tour will then return to the US for this two venue Cup that will provide some of the most spectacular conditions of the year for the World's Best. Reigniting the global pilgrimage to Southern California at the end of September / early October, the APP World Tour has found a new home in San Diego California. The venue is so perfectly suited to the City Paddle Festival concept of getting people out on the water and active, but also to deliver an impressive mix of open ocean, surf and flat water conditions to challenge the World's very best athletes.

The Tour will then move onto the Island of Maui for a mix of world class downwind racing and the ultimate surf sprint racing at Ho'okipa Beach. With a 4 day holding period and 2 days of action to be held on the best 2 days for each respective discipline during the holding period, the Maui event will deliver some of the most spectacular racing action of the year held on the sport's most infamous natural racing arenas.

The Final (December)

• Paris, France: 3rd - 5th December

It will then be the welcomed return to Paris, France to combine the annual pilgrimage down the River Seine with a supercharged indoor event inside the Salon Nautique to provide a dramatic final weekend of action that will close the 2021 APP World Tour in style and crown the sport's Racing World Champions for both Men and Women. And remember, this will also be the closing event of the European Triple Crown, with this new and prestigious Title on the line for the World's best.

For thousands of paddlers around the world, 2020 prevented them from their annual pilgrimage to Paris on a cold December morning. However, all the fun and spectacular action will be back in 2021, as the Paris SUP Open will once again come alive and welcome the world in for a show to remember.

Logistics solution integrated for the 2021 APP World Tour

Please also remember that the APP will be adopting a container solution for the year to transport athlete's boards from Europe in May, all the way around the world to each of the events and back to Europe for the final in Paris. More to follow on this solution by early 2021 to allow plenty of time to plan.

Taylor Swift made big changes to Eras Tour. What to know about set list, 'Tortured Poets'

PARIS, France — Who's afraid of little old Taylor Swift adding an additional set to her already extensive Eras Tour setlist ? The singer revivified her magnum opus in La Défense Arena adding seven songs from "The Tortured Poets Department."

Swift rearranged the majority of the show, leaving only the "Lover," "Fearless" and "Midnights" eras in their original spots. "Folklore" and "Evermore" joined forces in one eight-song set. Swift also debuted several new outfits and cut some songs from the set list.

Toward the end of her show, Swift officially launched the long-awaited “The Tortured Poets Department” section of the tour after the 1989 era.

Swift performed the track “But Daddy I Love Him” off the April 19 album for her ecstatic fans while wearing a new beige dress with cursive letters.

A road spiraled down the catwalk in an animation to initiate the era. The background animation showed a deserted road while large cages animated and fell on the road.

“Oh my god you should see your faces,” she sang.

She quickly segwayed into a brief moment of “So High School,” the beloved track speculated to be about her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. She then performed the powerhouse anthem “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me.”

Swift switched to “Down Bad” before seamlessly transitioning into the lead single “Fortnight.” Stage production recreated an asylum that resembled the music video for the song with Post Malone, whose recorded harmony played concluding the song.

Dancers entered the stage in a marching band style format playing drums as she performed the wrath-fueled song “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Dancers Jan Ravnik and Kameron Saunders then revived Swift in a jazzy skit to set up “I Can Do With A Broken Heart,” where she debuted another new outfit.

“The End” text displayed wrapping up the era that’s likely here to stay. Other beloved tracks like “Guilty As Sin” and “Florida!” did not make the cut.

At the start of the secret set, Swift described the "Tortured Poets" set as "Female Rage: The Musical." Fans then got to hear another song from the new album as she played heartbreaking ballad "loml" on the piano as part of her acoustic set.
