Ben and Collin Johns are forfeiting their event payouts for this past weekend’s MLP Columbus event, according to a statement released by Major League Pickleball Wednesday evening.

The brothers and Carolina Hogs teammates played in two matches at the event held at Pickle & Chill in Columbus, Ohio before it was announced that they would be withdrawing due to concerns with the venue’s lighting.

That forced the Hogs to use two on-site alternates—Martin Emmrich and Ross Whittaker—just to be able to field a full squad for their remaining four matches.

Carolina finished the weekend 0-6, which brings their season record to 0-8.

Ben—who has eye damage from a childhood sledding accident—defended the withdrawal on X/Twitter, saying that the venue came nowhere close to meeting minimum lighting standards for professional tennis and that pickleball should adhere to those same standards.

Carolina won’t be in action again until MLP Salt Lake City in early June, but both brothers will compete at next week’s Veolia Atlanta Pickleball Championships.
