PLAY WITH PURPOSE
This event has a charity of choice: the Motherless Daughters Foundation (MDF), an Atlanta-based nonprofit that helps young people grow into strong, confident individuals through mentorship, programs, and community support. The Atlanta Bouncers, Atlanta's Major League Pickleball team, are proudly backing this event in support of MDF.
All weekend we are giving back with fundraising, fun community activations, and a back-to-school supply drive collecting school essentials for the kids MDF serves. Bring school supplies, pitch in, and play for a cause.
For the community, by the community.

FORMAT:
Minor League Pickleball is an innovative team competition where teams 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 MiLP Team Format:
MiLP is an ingenious gameplay format that brings men and women together on a level playing court. In the MiLP 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 will compete in a round robin to bracket playoffs format, with a guarantee of a minimum three full matches.
MiLP v3 is a round-robin team competition with guaranteed matches. Gendered teams of 3 players are broken into divisions (based on their combined DUPR rating) to compete against each other in three 21-point games. Top teams will face off in a bracket playoff.
The Dink Minor League Pickleball Guarantee: Predictable playing times and reduced waiting periods between matches. Guaranteed 6 played games with at least 3 matches each. A fair, level-based competitive experience, whatever your level of play!
