Major League Pickleball in Washington DC! Big winners and Losers, and what it’s like at a live MLP! 

🔥🔥🔥

Another great episode. I appreciate your text on the weekend. I agree the venue was lackluster. There has to be a better place to host this. Maybe a combination of weekend winners combined with season winner. Award more points if a team wins the weekend then teams that haven’t been playing well potentially have a chance to catch up.

Soo last week I discovered I have the pickleball channel on my tv and I just so happened to watch the event this past weekend and now im obsessed with watching professional pickleball. I would always watch the matches on RU-vid months after they happened which was cool but watching it live on tv was awesome! Can’t wait for the next event. I’m really glad I found this podcast because none of my friends follow the sport so it’s like I’m listening to 2 friends talk about it 😂😂. Also not sure how to enter the giveaway but I liked, commented and subscribed so hopefully that’s how. Goodluck everyone!

I believe you misquoted Ben regarding MLP. He didn't say that he didn't like it, he said he enjoys it, but prefers PPA, because PPA determines the best players. I totally prefer MLP and the team atmosphere. I like that the talent is spread out. The winners on Championship Sunday in the PPA are so predictable .... though the Men's Singles and Doubles events have gotten a bit more exciting.

I had the same thought about the venue, it seems like it was just a small park or something? And the music was defiantly loud. Enjoyed the pod and I'm a little bummed I didn't get to make it.

I found it funny that literally right after you told us to look at the points per match statistic, you then said the New Jersey 5's were struggling. They are 2nd in MLP in points per match, and the only team yet to lose in regulation and won every dreambreaker. Not to mention they've only played 3 matches.

Did you watch any of the NJ 5 matches?? ALW is NOT struggling and in fact is the most dominant woman in the MLP. Look at the men on her team! They are struggling. Despite that they won 100% of their 3 matches. She is the only woman and perhaps player to not yet lose. She is 100% carrying that team! They have 2 of the weakest men. Imagine if she had Gabe and Hayden?! Again- despite the challenges- look at the stats so far for NJ5s..... There is only so much so can do but she has stepped up in a big way. Watch the 2 matches that are available to watch from Atlanta! She is in a league of her own on the women's side- even for MLP.... so far. Hoping that team can get even one strong guy.

Great episode. I also prefer the auction draft. You don't just get lucky with your draft slot. James was awful all wkd. His drops were bad and too much attacking from compromised positions. I enjoyed getting there early Fri and watching some Challenger matches. Yi Wang on Vegas impressed me. Hadn't seen much of her. The only player who shocked me more was Pisnik. I knew she was good, but she was such a wall! The match between her and Etta against the DC women was the best of the wkd. Think I am gonna have to make the trip to VA to see the next in our area.

Rachel Rhorbacher actually did well at the dream breakers, she made Lea Jansen look mediocre… What do you think about the Allyce- Glozman trade?
