Minor League Pickleball Launches Mixed V3 Format
The Dink Minor League Pickleball has introduced a mixed v3 format in which three-player teams play men’s doubles first, then choose their mixed-doubles pairings for the remaining matches; every player competes twice, and top teams advance to playoffs. In Vietnam, Zorba X is supporting pickleball athletes Van Phuong and Nick Khampi with training and career resources, while promoting the club as a community built around fitness and mutual support. The 2026–27 college pickleball season opens October 3, with Utah Tech adding LSU transfer Hunter Merritt and Florida bringing in former Florida State player Zack Florendo, setting up renewed interest in the in-state rivalry.
