Minor League Pickleball is a unique team format in which teams of 4 compete against each other. A match consists of 4 individual doubles games with different partner pairings in each game. The team that wins the majority of the 4 games wins the match. If there is a tie and each won 2 of the games, a "dreambreaker" is played which is a singles match played to 21 with rally scoring and players from each team rotate in after every 4 rally points. The winner of the dreambreaker wins the match. For our co-ed divisions, the four games in a match include a men's doubles, a women's doubles, and 2 mixed doubles games. In our open MLP division, the partner match-ups can be any 4 unique partner pairings.
**When registering for the MLP events, you will register yourself. You will then be contacted directly at which point you will be asked to designate your teammates.
