The Dink MLPlay™ FORMAT
The Dink Minor League Pickleball is team competition where teams of 4 players (2 women and 2 men) compete against each other using the MLPlay™ format: team matches are composed of four 21-point games (rally scoring), 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.
