Top Storylines:

  • Will the tied top two teams (Fives and Shock) win their groups to set up a Sunday battle where the winner takes first place overall going into the playoffs? NOTE: Both teams have clinched a bye to the quarterfinal round of the playoffs. 

  • Which of the teams right above and below the playoff cut line will qualify (top 12 make it)? The Slice hold the final spot by the slimmest of 1 point margins. 

  • Two byes, three teams - will Columbus maintain its spot in the top 4 and a bye to the quarters (while watching from OH)? If so, will it be the LA Mad Drops or the Brooklyn Pickleball Team that grabs the last bye?
