The Dink MLPlay™ FORMAT
The Dink Minor League Pickleball is team competition where teams of 4 players (2 women and 2 men) compete against each other using the MLPlay™ format: team matches are composed of four 21-point games (rally scoring), one women’s doubles, a men’s doubles, and the final two games consisting of mixed doubles. If both teams are tied at 2-2 after the 4 games are played, they’ll go to a Dreambreaker™! In a Dreambreaker™ one person from each team plays singles against the other team’s player, switching players every four rallies until someone gets to 21 and wins by two points.
To participate in MLPlay™ register here >> URL COMING SOON!
DUPR ratings will be used to determine bracket placements.
We reserve the right to move players/teams into their appropriate skill bracket based on their DUPR rating at the time of the tournament (regardless of rating at the time of registration).
Scores will be uploaded to DUPR.
