Team Challenge (MLP style) Specifications In Teams Challenge, each match includes four doubles games, allowing all team members to participate and display their skills and teamwork. During the round-robin stage, teams are grouped and play against every other team in their group, with their performance in each match determining their points.

The top teams from the round-robin stage advance to the single-elimination playoff stage, where losing a match means elimination. Teams are matched in the playoffs based on their round-robin performance.

If a match ends in a tie after the four doubles games, it’s resolved with a singles game tiebreaker, adding a thrilling twist and highlighting individual skills.

This format effectively combines doubles teamwork with the excitement of singles play, ensuring a diverse and engaging pickleball tournament experience.
