The Dink Minor League Pickleball (MiLP) is one of the fastest-growing competitive team formats in the country, bringing MLP-style team competition to amateur players.
Teams of 4 players (2 women and 2 men) compete together in a unique format that blends traditional doubles play with exciting team strategy, momentum swings, and high-energy finishes.
MLPlay™ Format
Each team match consists of four 21-point games:
• Women’s Doubles
• Men’s Doubles
• Mixed Doubles
• Mixed Doubles
If teams are tied 2–2, the match is decided by a DreamBreaker™ — a rotating singles tiebreaker where players switch every four rallies until one team reaches 21 points and wins by two.
DreamBreakers are one of the most exciting finishes in pickleball, combining strategy, pressure, and team momentum.
