MiLP Event Hit Biloxi on September: Popp’s Ferry Park in Biloxi, Mississippi, is set to host The Dink Minor League Pickleball tournament on September 7, 2024. This event is more than just a competition—it’s a cause-driven initiative benefiting the Memorial Foundation Breast Imaging Fund. Registration for the event is currently open and will close on September 3, 2024. With an 8 AM start time for all divisions, the tournament promises a day of spirited competition.
Innovative MLPlay™ Format
The tournament will follow the MLPlay™ Team Event format, a unique and engaging style that has been gaining popularity nationwide. This format brings together teams of four players—two women and two men—in a series of four 21-point games. The competition includes women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and two mixed doubles matches. In the event of a 2-2 tie, the match moves to a Dreambreaker™, where singles play determines the final outcome. The Dreambreaker™ adds an exciting twist, as players switch after every four rallies until one team secures a 21-point win by a two-point margin.
Sponsorship and Support
The tournament is proudly supported by Gulf Coast Oral & Facial Surgery as the Gold Sponsor and Medicare Options Info as the Bronze Sponsor. Their backing emphasizes the event’s community focus, supporting both the competitive spirit of pickleball and the important cause it benefits.
Registration and Rules
Players are divided into DUPR divisions based on their team’s aggregate rating, with specific rules to ensure a fair and competitive playing field. For example, the DUPR 20 division requires that the team’s total rating does not exceed 20.99. Once registered, a team’s rating is locked, ensuring consistent competition throughout the event. For those registering individually, efforts will be made to place them on a team, with refunds provided if placement isn’t possible.
Players and teams are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the full rules, which can be accessed on the official Minor League Pickleball website.
