The Second Season of MLP begins Friday June 3-5, from Dreamland Dripping Springs for MLP 2022 Austin.
The MLP season features twelve teams of four players — two men and two women. In each matchup, four games will be played: women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and two mixed doubles. Should a match be tied after the doubles competitions, a DREAMBREAKER takes place — with all four players on a team rotating every four points.
Since the draft used DUPR to make team selections, the competition is sure to be fierce and the winning team will have to channel both doubles and singles skills to make it to the Finals on Sunday. Last year we discovered that the most accurate predictor of performance was a combined rating of both singles and doubles.
This year, the teams are split into three pools (A, B, and C). The strongest field by combined DUPR is Pool A (we call it the Death Pool), followed by Pool C and then B (which may give Florida Smash a cruise into the finals).
Two teams from each pool will make it into the semi-finals.
Noteworthy: BLQK is #1 in both Singles and Combined, edged out by ATX Pickleballer for the top Doubles Rank in the field.
Note: For players who don’t have a singles DUPR, we assigned the gendered average of the rest of the field. Women: 5.637, Men 6.756
