FORMAT
The Tryptophan Classic team tournament is an MiLP style event where teams of 4 players (2 women and 2 men) 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 MLPlay™ format:
MLPlay™ is an ingenious gameplay format that brings men and women together on a level playing court. In the MLPlay™ 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.
Valenti Pickleball is dedicated to promoting and growing the sport of pickleball through high-quality tournaments and community engagement. With a legacy of hosting memorable events, Valenti Pickleball continues to bring players together for competition and camaraderie.
