MPIC is Malaysia's interclub pickleball competition — where clubs field a full squad, play a two-stage round robin that splits into upper and lower brackets, and settle it with a Dreambreaker decider. Not a ladder. A team contest.
Most pickleball events are open ladders — you show up, you play strangers, you leave. MPIC is different. Clubs put a squad on the line and play as one team, which means the result belongs to the whole community, not one bracket winner.
Each club fields a 24-player squad — 6 women and 18 men — across women's, mixed and men's doubles. Every game feeds one team score, so every player matters, not just the top pairs.
Every team first plays the opposing club's teams in a round robin. The top performers advance to an upper bracket and the rest to a lower bracket, for a second round robin before the decider.
If it's close after the round-robin, the tie is broken by a live Dreambreaker — a rotating line-up finale that can swing the whole Cup in one game.
The format is locked and the same for both clubs. It's designed so every member plays, matches stay competitive, and the result is decided on court — not on paper.
Club members only — genuine members of the club community, not professionals brought in just for the win. Every player must be a real part of your club's community, and no player may represent more than two clubs across MPIC — no switching sides just to chase a title.
Each club names 24 players — 6 women and 18 men — fielding 2 Women's Doubles, 6 Mixed and 6 Men's Doubles teams. Players are rated DUPR 2.0–3.5; women in Women's Doubles may also play Mixed, and every other player plays a single category.
Every team meets each of the opposing club's teams in its category — each Women's Doubles plays both opposing WD, and each Mixed and Men's Doubles plays all six opposite numbers. Games are played to 15, sudden death.
Teams are ranked on wins, then point difference, then head-to-head. Each club sends its top Women's Doubles, top 3 Mixed and top 3 Men's Doubles to the upper bracket; the rest drop to the lower bracket for a second round robin.
Every game earns league points across both brackets — a win is worth more than a loss, but a loss still scores. The champion is the club with the highest total, with the Dreambreaker breaking a close finish.
A final decider played to 24, with the line-up rotating as points accumulate. It's weighted heavily — enough to erase a close deficit — so the Cup stays alive until the last ball.
The Cup runs as a rolling challenge: about once every two months, any club can challenge the reigning club champion for the trophy. The venue for each challenge is decided by the MPIC organising committee.
The founding club defended the Cup. Two clubs, 24 players each, one club score — and the trophy stays with Happy Pickle Addicters.
HPA — reigning champions, two from two in MPIC — hosted The Pickleball Gang, powered by Franklin Malaysia, in TPG’s first shot at the Cup.

The winning club earns the honour of having its name permanently engraved on the MPIC Championship Trophy — a lasting legacy that inspires the players who come after them.
A travelling trophy that passes from champion to champion, it stands for excellence, commitment, and the highest achievement in Malaysian interclub pickleball.
MPIC is Malaysia’s club-vs-club pickleball competition. Clubs field a full 24-player squad (6 women, 18 men), play a two-stage round robin that splits into upper and lower brackets, and the winning club’s name is engraved on the travelling MPIC Championship Trophy.
Most pickleball events are open brackets — you enter as an individual or a pair. In interclub pickleball, your whole club competes as one team: every game feeds a single team score, so the result belongs to the club community, not one bracket winner.
Two clubs go head-to-head. Each club fields 24 players (6 women, 18 men) rated DUPR 2.0–3.5 — no skill divisions — across 2 women’s doubles, 6 mixed and 6 men’s doubles teams. In stage one every team plays each opposing team in its category (games to 15, sudden death); teams are ranked, then each club’s top performers form an upper bracket and the rest a lower bracket for a second round robin. The club with the most league points across both brackets takes the Cup, with a Dreambreaker to 24 breaking a close finish.
The tie-breaking finale. If the round-robin is close, both clubs play one rotating-lineup game to 24 points. It’s weighted heavily enough to swing the whole Cup, so the result stays alive until the last ball.
Genuine club members only — no professionals brought in just for the win, and no player can represent more than two clubs across MPIC.
MPIC runs as a rolling challenge: roughly every two months, any club can challenge the reigning champion for the trophy. The organising committee sets the venue for each challenge.
