Pickleball Event Format
The Dink Minor League Pickleball competition introduces the MLPlay format, a unique and engaging style of play designed to mix men’s and women’s teams. Each team will consist of four players—two women and two men—competing across a series of four 21-point games: women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and two mixed doubles games.
If teams tie 2-2 after these matches, a Dreambreaker will decide the victor, where one player from each team competes in singles until one player wins by two points.
