@jayevans813@NicoTheLefty You’d like to think that as the sport continues to evolve the progressive format allows for more athletic showcasing of top pro skills as weekend approaches since they won’t be on hour 8 of the day. Specifically in singles, but I don’t think singles is the future of the sport
@NicoTheLefty Both would definitely be ideal. I think MLP is much more fan / attendance focused and PPA is carving itself out to be more virtually attended. Different target markets with each product imo
@NicoTheLefty It’s that ‘class / etiquette’ stigma we are seeing pickleball drift away from as a racket sport, which I think is awesome and good for entertainment value
@tylerloong Depends on how well you know the person / the backstory. If it’s over a bad call / poor sportsmanship then fake yeah, but if it’s a guy you’re cool with off court and want to turn the intensity up against I don’t see the harm
@BrookesJones7 I’m doing Chicago, had my mixed partner drop me a couple days ago. Felt like a placeholder and that shit sucked lol. I’ve been cancelled on and they didn’t make tourney but never had it happen and they pick new partner
@ZaneNavratil Are qualifier players allowed to gamble on MLP futures? Used to get emails saying I can’t for PPA events which is fair. But qualifier results (on unsigned players) should not affect MLP outcomes
