Fall Brawl League 2023
November 1, 2023
Starting this fall, Ohio Valley Pickleball is excited to announce the launch of a competitive team league, the Fall Brawl. In this league, a thrilling snake draft will occur as team captains carefully select their players. The exact team size will be determined once the registration process is finalized. Our objective is to assemble 4 to 5 teams, each comprising a minimum of 6 dedicated players.
Here’s how the league works:
Weekly Matches
- Every week, team captains will strategically assemble their team lineups and face off against another team’s lineup.
Match Format
- Each match is composed of individual lines. Team captains select two players from their team to fill each line.
- Lineup exchanges happen just before the match begins, ensuring that neither captain knows the opposing team line up ahead of time.
- Each line consists of a best-of-three set format, with each game playing to a score of 15 points. Once one team wins 2 sets in a line, that line is over.
- Winning your line contributes valuable points to your team’s overall score.
Points Breakdown:
- Line 1: 5 points
- Line 2: 4 points
- Line 3: 3 points
In an ideal scenario, each team boasts 6 to 8 players, providing captains with the flexibility to manage player absences effectively and set their lines accordingly. However, in cases of smaller teams (with 4 players), the 3rd line will engage in a unique “Dreambreaker” match. Here, each 4-person team competes in doubles combined, with pairings switching every five points until one team reaches a score of 25 – think of it as a thrilling tag team match. Line 1 initiates the match until a team reaches 5 points, followed by line 2, and so on until the target of 25 points is achieved.
