Currently the MLP schedule takes place in 14 different cities around the country. While Brooklyn will play in 6-8 of those cities, BKPT aims to create and implement ongoing local programming for our community. Look out for more information on our social channels and at our future local facility partner locations. 

Should the team qualify for the end-of-season Championship we'll see you in Central Park at Wollman Rink August 22-24! 

Each MLP Team is made up of six (6) players consisting of three (3) women and three (3) men. All MLP teams will appear in five of ten regular season events. Brooklyn Pickleball Team will be participating in the regular season events + the Mid-Season tournament that will take place in Orlando (4/24-27), Phoenix (5/29-6/1), San Clemente (6/26-29), Washington, D.C. (7/3-6), Mid-Season Grand Rapids (7/10-13), St. Louis (7/17-20). 

Every team will play a total of 25 regular season matches over their five events. Results from these matches will accumulate throughout the season creating season-long standings. 

Standings Format: A total of three standings points will be earned in every regular season match. The cumulative season-long standings will be calculated at both levels and points will be earned in every match as follows:   

• 3 Points: Regulation win (i.e.: 3-1 or 4-0 win; no DreamBreaker needed) 
• 2 Points: DreamBreaker win (i.e.: 3-2 win)  
• 1 Point: DreamBreaker loss (i.e.: 2-3 loss) 
• 0 Points: Regulation loss (i.e.: 1-3 or 0-4 loss; no DreamBreaker needed) 

A Match consists of four Games to 11 (win by 2) with side out scoring, starting with one women’s doubles Game, followed by one men’s doubles Game, and then two mixed doubles Games. If two teams are tied after these four games, an innovative tiebreaker known as the “DreamBreaker” is played to 21 using rally scoring, with a rotational system involving all four players. In each game, players will change ends when one team reaches the score of 6. All Games must be won by 2 points. 

The 2025 season will conclude with the MLP Playoffs that will take place over two separate weekends in two locations (San Diego, New York City). In the Premier level, the top ten (10) teams will qualify for the season-ending MLP Playoffs. If there is a tie between two or more teams with the same number of points, the tiebreaker will be net games from regular season matches.
