Pool grouping and marquee matchups\u2014Brooklyn, LA, and Phoenix gather in Group A<\/h2>\n

The 11 teams are split into two groups and compete in a three-day round-robin format. Group A (6 teams) has the Brooklyn Pickleball Team, LA Mad Drops, Las Vegas Night Owls, Phoenix Flames, SoCal Hard Eights, and Utah Black Diamonds. Group B (5 teams) lists the Atlanta Bouncers, Bay Area Breakers, Orlando Squeeze, St. Louis Shock, and Palm Beach Royals.<\/p>\n

The highlight of Group A is the direct clash between Brooklyn, in their first full event after Haworth joined, and the LA Mad Drops, undefeated champions of the opening Dallas event (Friday 14:30 CT). In Group B, champions St. Louis Shock face back-to-back matches against the Atlanta Bouncers (Friday 16:00 CT) and the Palm Beach Royals (Saturday 16:00 CT).<\/p>\n

MLP 2026 accumulates event standing points across the 9-event regular season, and the top teams advance to the playoffs. Following the results of the first event in Dallas and the second in Columbus, St. Louis marks the turning point of the early season for each team.<\/p>\n

On the final day, Sunday, cross-group matchups based on group standings are held, awarding up to 25 points. Because the results from Day 1 through Day 3 directly connect to the final day's matchups and points earned, the tension of not being able to drop a single match continues for four days.<\/p>\n
