Minor League Pickleball is an innovative team competition where teams of 4 players (2 women and 2 men) compete against each other in an engaging format, with twists on traditional match-ups and scoring for games, matches, and tiebreakers. Teams compete against each other in Matches using the MLPlay format:
MLPlay is an ingenious gameplay format that brings men and women together on a level playing court. In the MLPlay format team matches are composed of four 21-point games, 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.
Teams play in a round robin pool, with guaranteed matches. Top teams square off in a bracket playoff.
