Run real MLP-style tournaments and leagues.

Major League Pickleball format: 4-player teams, men's + women's + 2 mixed sub-matches per matchup, and a 21-point Dreambreaker if the score lands at 2-2. Built into both tournaments and league play.

The format, in one matchup

  1. Men's Doubles — the 2 men from each team to 25 (rally scoring).
  2. Women's Doubles — the 2 women from each team to 25.
  3. Mixed Doubles 1 — one man + one woman per team to 25.
  4. Mixed Doubles 2 — the other man + woman per team to 25.
  5. Dreambreaker — only if 2-2; all 8 players on the court, first to 21.

Clinch at 3-1 or 4-0 ends the matchup early — no Dreambreaker needed. Win the most sub-matches, win the matchup.

What you get out of the box

Every bracket type

Single elimination, double elimination (traditional and consolation), round robin — MLP works with all of them. Pick a category in the wizard and the system handles the rest.

Sub-matches auto-generate

The 4 sub-matches are created automatically when both teams are set. The Dreambreaker spawns the moment the score hits 2-2.

4-player rosters

Required 2 men + 2 women in mixed divisions; flexible in single-gender divisions. Roster gaps surface as "needs 1 more woman" hints in the registration UI.

Organizer overrides

Force-finalize a stuck matchup, void a sub-match score, or reset the Dreambreaker — all with required reason for the audit log. Tournament-day flexibility without breaking integrity.

Mid-event substitutions

Swap a player on a team and the existing sub-match participants resync to the new roster automatically. No stale references to dropped players.

Standings + DUPR

Standings count parent matchups (not sub-matches) so a 4-1 sweep is recorded as one win. DUPR submission targets the playable sub-matches, not the parent wrapper.

Leagues + tournaments

MLP isn't just for one-day tournaments. Enable a 4-player league and weekly matches play out as full MLP matchups — sub-match generation, Dreambreakers, and standings all carry through the season. League playoffs inherit the format automatically when the regular season is MLP.

Setup in under 60 seconds

Create a tournament or league, set the division category to MLP or the league team_size to 4. Open registration. Teams build a 4-player roster with each player's gender. The system handles everything else — bracket structure, sub-match creation, score collection, standings, and DUPR.
