    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.
