A little more about MiLP-style play:  Each bracket will consist of 6 teams max (depending on number of teams per bracket), playing the following matches for each round:  (1) women's doubles, (1) men's doubles, and (2) mixed doubles games.   Remember, this is Rally Scoring, so it moves quickly:  

• Rally scoring is simple: a point is scored after every rally, regardless of which team is serving. This version of pickleball rewards success after each point.  
• There is no Second Server in Rally Scoring. The team starting the game will designate a Starting Server who will always serve from the Even or Right side of the court when their score is even.
• The winning point must be won by the serving team, hence a temporary point freeze happens. 
• There will be no other point freeze for this tournament, except for the aforementioned winning point.  
• Both the volley serve and drop serve are allowed. 
• All games in a match will be played on the same court.  After a match is completed, you will rotate courts to play the next match.
• There will be no playoffs for this tournament.   
• The format of the dreambreaker match (tie breaker) is to be determined.

 NR - Non Rated Players will be assigned a rating based on the average rating of the division they sign up for.
