Very excited to watch #MLP today! These regular-season events have a different vibe than the mid-season tournament, but still nice to see some MLP action.

Update after the Mid-Season tournament. Which ones did I miss on?

Comment below! #Pickleball #rankings

As a sport, we must decide how much emphasis we're putting on the Mid Season Tournament.

Is a mid-season tournament win going to be held in the same regard as a championship? Or is a championship the most important metric, with everything else falling into a separate category.

While the MLP and the NBA are two completely different sports, both have an in-season tournament (not counting toward their record) and the playoffs (at the end of the season). It's very apparent that basketball players, coaches, journalists etc. care about 1 thing and 1 thing only: championships. Will we do the same in Pickleball?

Also, does advancing further in the mid-season tournament hinder future performances? We'll find out soon. @majorleaguepb

Hello, this is Diego Loveshe, President of the Concordia University Chicago (CUC) Pickleball Club. We are looking to advance the growth of pickleball on our campus and become a leading club in the collegiate pickleball scene.

We have consistently faced several difficulties in raising money for our club since its inception. In light of this, we just set up a GoFundMe for the CUC Pickleball Club. Any amount goes a long way. Your donation will help us purchase equipment (balls, nets, video equipment) and cover travel and lodging expenses for any tournament and match play.

It's uncertain how this will correspond with existing USA Pickleball certification and whether non-professionals will need designated paddles for UPA or USAP tournaments. 🏓 We're not suggesting you stick with your JOOLA Gen3, especially since their customer service team reportedly isn't responding to calls at the moment. 📞

If a paddle is banned, or de-listed, by USA Pickleball or the Pro Tours... Do you think it's fair to use it in rec play or amateur tournaments? 🏓🤔 #Pickleball
