The day began at 10:30 WIB with open gate access and re-registration, allowing participants to check in and prepare for the matches. Session 1 officially started at 11:00 WIB, featuring friendly padel matches across three courts. Rather than emphasizing intense competition, the matches focused on teamwork, learning, and enjoyment, making the experience especially welcoming for first-time players.

At 13:00 WIB, the event paused for winner announcements and a photo session, followed by re-registration for Session 2. This break also created an opportunity for networking and interaction among participants, supporters, and the i3L organizing team.

The excitement continued with Session 2, running from 14:00 to 16:00 WIB, once again utilizing three courts for friendly matches. The day concluded with the announcement of the final winner and a group photo session, capturing the shared energy and positive spirit of the event.
