Minor League Pickleball is an innovative team competition where teams of four players (2 women and 2 men). Teams compete against each other over several days that encompass a novel and engaging format, with twists on traditional match-ups and scoring for games, matches, and tiebreakers.
Teams compete against each other in Matches. A Match consists of four Games, starting with one women’s doubles Game, followed by one men’s doubles Game, and then two mixed doubles Games. If two teams are tied after these four games, an innovative tiebreaker known as the “DreamBreaker™” (to 21) is played, with a rotational system involving all four players. Teams first play each other in group or round-robin play, and then the top teams square off in a single-elimination format.
