This will be an MiLP style tournament - games to 21, rally scoring. Play 4 games each round - 1 each Men's & Women's Doubles, and 2 Mixed Doubles. If you are tied at the end of the round, then you play a tie breaker match - one game to 21, WinBy2, but this time you play singles - each player will rotate on & off the court for 4 rallies. The top 4 finishers in each division advance to the playoffs: 1 & 2 seed play for Gold, 3 & 4 seeds duke it out for Bronze.

Once a team registers for a Minor League Pickleball event, their ratings are “locked” and their DUPR increasing or decreasing will not impact the team’s aggregate or division placement.
To sign up for any Minor League event, a DUPR account is required at the time of registration. Not rated players can play; however, their estimated rating will be verified by the tournament director.

Substitute Players
A team that needs a player substitute can either edit their team by signing into Swish and making the edits themselves or a player may submit the player substitute information directly to the tournament organizer. Substitute player’s DUPR may not cause the established team’s aggregate to go over max event’s aggregate, or the team will be moved to the next higher group.
