Classic Format Returns
The tournament will use a pool play format that leads into single-elimination playoffs, honoring Major League Pickleball’s original style. The Premier Level will have 16 teams divided into four groups of four. Each team will play three matches, with the top team from each group advancing to a winner-take-all playoff.
The Challenger Level will include six teams split into two groups of three. Each team will play two matches, and the top two teams from each pool will move on to the playoff bracket.
Match Rules and Tiebreakers
Teams listed first in the schedule will be the “away” team wearing dark jerseys, while those listed second will be the “home” team wearing light jerseys. If a team takes a 3-0 lead in a match, a fourth game will not be played. Pool play tiebreakers will follow this order: total matches won, head-to-head matches won, point differential of all games played, head-to-head point differential, and point differential against the next highest team.
