Georgia State Championship Pickleball Tournament: The Georgia State Championship of The Dink Minor League Pickleball will be held on September 13, 2025, at Dill Dinkers West End in Atlanta, Georgia. Registration costs $75 and closes on September 11 at 11:55 p.m. EST. Winners will qualify for the 2025 Minor League Pickleball National Championship.
Tournament Overview
The event is sanctioned by the Southern Pickleball Association and is open to all players through DUPR. All participants will earn double points toward the 2025 National Leaderboard. The tournament will use the MLPlay™ team format, which has gained popularity nationwide for its fun and fast-paced competition style.
Format of Play
Each team will include four players, made up of two women and two men. Matches will feature four games to 21 points. Games will include women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and two mixed doubles.
If the teams split 2-2, the match will be decided by a Dreambreaker™. In this format, players rotate every four rallies while competing in singles until one team wins 21 points by a two-point margin.
DUPR Divisions
Teams will compete in divisions based on their combined DUPR scores. Divisions include DUPR 20, 18, 16, 14, and 12. Each division sets limits for both the team’s total rating and individual player ratings. Once registered, team ratings are locked for that event.
Players must have a DUPR account to register. Those without a rating may still join, but their skill level will be reviewed by the tournament director.
Team and Single Registration
Players may register as part of a team or sign up individually. Singles must list their team name and DUPR division if already connected to a team. If a player signs up without a team, the director will try to place them. If no placement is possible, the registration fee will be refunded.
Refund Policy
Cancellations made at least 15 days before the tournament will be refunded, minus a $5 technology fee and a 3% processing fee. Refunds are not available after the deadline. Players who registered individually but were not placed on a team will receive a refund within three to five business days after the event.
