Events
Format: The Dink Minor League Pickleball
Price: $100.00 / Player (must register and pay as a team)
Description
Update, all divisions will be at the PENN location
FORMAT
MLPlay™ format team matches are composed of four 21-point games, women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and the final two games are 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, play to 21 and win by two points.
Please check tournament website for updates on start times and location.
We plan on using both LT Pickleball NYC locations for this event, Penn and Sky. As of right now all divisions will start at 10am.
Start times and location may change based on demand, we will do our best to keep changes as minimal as possible. Please note that MiLP tournaments are like a 2-in-1, gender doubles & mixed doubles. Divisions tend to run 4-6 hours and teams making a deep playoff run will have a full day of pickleball.

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.
Single Registrations
If you are registering as a single registration but are already part of a team, please notate Team Name AND the DUPR Division. For example, “Mad Drops – 18.”
If you want to play in the Minor League event but are unable to form a team, the tournament director will do their best to place you on a team. For players that are not placed, thus not playing the event, their registration fees will be refunded.
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.
