Winter Mixed Pickle

A competitive mixed ladder-style league where players sign up individually and are grouped into weekly pods of 8 players (4 men and 4 women). Each week, players will compete in four games to 15, win by 2, partnering with different opposite-gender players throughout the night. Pods are re-assigned weekly based on performance, allowing players to move up and down the ladder over the course of the season. This format creates competitive, balanced matchups while maintaining a social and dynamic league environment.

Standings & Ladder Movement

Standings during the regular season are based on the percentage of total points scored each week.

Additional factors include:

  • Bonus points for match wins
  • A small participation bonus for each week played

Players move up or down the ladder weekly based on overall point percentage. Missing a week does not significantly impact overall standings.

League Placement Details

Players do not select their flight or group. Placements will be determined as follows:

  • The top 12 men and top 12 women will be placed in Premier League (Thursdays).
  • The next 12 men and 12 women will be placed in Challenger League (Mondays).
  • Remaining players will be placed in Pioneer League (Mondays).

Playoffs & Prizes

Playoffs will take place during the final weeks of the league, with structure determined by total participation. League champions will receive medals and a $150 Bousquet Sport gift card.

Sub List

Subs are allowed and will be coordinated through an official sub list. Because standings are based on point percentage, players may miss weeks without penalty.
