2025 Winter Season at Pickle Haüs

Information:

Season: January 4, 2025 to May 4, 2025, includes regular season and playoffs. 13 – 17 week season depending on the number of teams in the division.

Venue: Pickle Haüs, 275 De Baets St, Winnipeg, MB

Schedule: All matches are 2 hours in length, starting at one of the following times.

Tuesdays 6pm, 8pm

Wednesdays 8pm

Saturdays 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm

Sundays 12pm, 2pm, 4pm

Teams play approximately 1 match per week (2 hours per match) on one of the days/times listed – all divisions rotate – teams generally will not play on the same day/time each week. Depending on demand some dates/times may be dropped or added. Full schedule will be published approximately 1 week before the season starts.

Divisions:

Mixed Doubles 3.0/3.25/3.5/3.75/4.0/4.25+ (must be two female and two male in each match)

Women’s Doubles 3.0/3.25/3.5/3.75/4.0/4.25+

Men’s/Open Doubles 3.0/3.25/3.5/3.75/4.0/4.25+ (men’s/open allows for any mix of gender)

Each player can play in mixed plus one of the other divisions (women’s or men’s/open). The scheduling will attempt to have those playing in two divisions to not play in both on the same day (but this can’t be guaranteed).

Advertising levels in 0.25 increments gives a finer range for registration but it’s unlikely there will be enough teams in all levels. Some levels may be combined with other levels to balance the league (consulting with affected teams). The league may also rebalance divisions based on results part way through the season.

Format: 4 players per team in each match (up to 6 players on the roster to allow for alternates), 8 doubles games per player per match, click here for detailed rules. See the scoresheet for details on how partners and opponents are created for each match.

Significant Rule Changes from Previous Seasons:

  • All players must be members of Pickleball Canada (PCO), Pickleball Manitoba (PMI) (or other provincial/territorial membership body) and the MPL. Memberships are on an annual basis (January to December) and current membership fees are PCO $10, PMI $10 and MPL $0 (no additional player fee over the league team entry fee).
  • Spares are allowed to play in two matches before being required to register. Prior to the third time playing a league match, the spare must register with PCO, PMI and the MPL.
  • Singles (mini/regular) is no longer included in each match. The 4th round of singles is replaced with another doubles round.
  • Home team provides the balls (MPL no longer provides balls).
 

Team Entry Fee: $800 – $1100 (tax included) for the season, which includes regular season and playoffs (13 – 17 week season). Exact amount will be determined based on the schedule required for the number of teams in the division and will be communicated/due shortly after registration closes. The entry fee covers court rental fees and some randomly drawn prizes.

Registration:

For full team registrations, player 1 is the Team Captain and registers the entire team. Players 5 and 6 are optional (only 4 play at any given time, see the league rules for details). Spares are allowed up until the playoffs (only the 6 roster players are allowed to play in the playoffs).

League spares / individual / partial team registrations will have your name(s) listed in the sections above. Leave the team name blank in this case. If a team forms out of the individuals/partial team then the captain needs to resubmit a full team registration form.
