The Dink Minor League Pickleball - Team Up Tournament @ Power PBC
Saturday, February 8th at Power Pickleball Club
What is MiLP?
Glad you asked! Minor League Pickleball (MiLP) is an innovative team competition where teams of four players (2 women and 2 men). compete against each other in a novel and engaging format, with twists on traditional match-ups and scoring for games, matches, and tiebreakers.
How do matches work?
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.
How many games will I play?
Teams play in a round robin pool, with 6 guaranteed games per player. Top teams from each pool square off in a bracket playoff to crown Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners.
What is a DreamBreaker?
If both teams are tied at 2-2 after 4 games, they’ll go to a Dreambreaker™! One person from each team plays singles, switching players every four rallies until someone gets to 21 (win by 2).
Can I sign up alone?
We can help you find 3 other teammates. Each team needs 4 players whose ratings are cumulatively below their brackets DUPR rating. Sign ups are as a team!
