Major League Pickleball uses a four-member team format, each team consisting of two men and two women. A match between teams is determined by the best of four games: one game of men's doubles, one game of women's doubles and two games of mixed doubles. If tied after four games, a ''dreambreaker'' singles game is played where after every four points scoredrallys the singles players on each team are rotated. All games are played using rally scoring where the team that wins the rally scores a point and earns a ''side out'', regardless of who is serving. The winningA team must win by two points and must score the game-winning point on their serve. If a team reaches ''game point'', their score will remain frozen until they win a rally on their serve, or they lose their game-point advantage. The other teams score does not remain frozen. The other team can continue earning points when they win a rally on the other team's serve. Doubles games are played to 25, and dreambreaker games are played to 21.<ref>{{cite web |title=The ABC's of MLP |url=https://www.majorleaguepickleball.net/abcs-of-mlp/ |website=MLP by Margaritaville |publisher=Major League Pickleball, Inc. |access-date=24 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241010052814/https://www.majorleaguepickleball.net/abcs-of-mlp/ |archive-date=October 10, 2024}}</ref>
