How it works

From RSVP to standings, in about 2 hours.

1
RSVP
Claim your spot. Open to all — no rating wall. It plays best around 3.5+, so bring your game.
2
Assigned courts · rotating round robin
Once we see who's here, we put you on a court and run a rotating-partner round robin around your speed. Structured, not random.
3
Play games that count
Game to 11, win by 2. Competitive and friendly — every game logs to your record, and the night ends with a champion.
4
On the board · week to week
Scores lock and carry over — every player’s record builds on the leaderboard week to week.
Who can play

Competitive play — no wall at the door.

Competitive ~3.25+ · coach-rated night 1
Built for competitive games — think ~3.25+ DUPR level of play. No rating wall: first-timers get evaluated by a Link & Dink coach on night one and given an official L&D rating, so you’re matched right. RSVP, show up, play.
Have a DUPR rating? Add it when you RSVP and we’ll seed you into closer games. No rating yet? A coach sets your official L&D rating your first night.
