Edward Jones MLP Cup: Pool Play Info & Match Schedule Announced

The Edward Jones MLP Cup, set for October 31 – November 2 at Brookhaven Country Club, marks the opening act of the 2025 Jenius Bank Pickleball World Championships. A nod to MLP’s roots, this special event blends nostalgia with tournament-specific stakes: $50,000 prize pool and the first-ever MLP Cup trophy on the line.

The competition format brings back classic pool play leading into single-elimination playoffs.

• Premier Level: 17 teams divided into four groups of four, with each team playing three matches. The top team from each group advances to the playoff bracket.
• Challenger Level: Five MLP teams plus one Collegiate All-Star team split into two groups of three, with each team playing twice. The top two from each pool move on to the playoff bracket.

Notes

• Teams listed first are the designated “AWAY” team (dark jerseys), those listed second are the “HOME” team (light)

• Pool play tiebreaker order: 1) Total matches won, 2) Head-to-head matches won, 3) Point differential of all games played, 4) Head-to-head point differential, 5) Point differential against next highest team
