The Dink series

MORE PLAY, LESS DELAY

James Thurston
Many of you will know me from Melbourne Pickle Club (where I was the previous owner).
The Dink Series will host tournaments across Melbourne, in premium indoor facilities. This way, we can create the best playing environment for DUPR events where skill determines who wins, not rain 🌧️
At the moment, events will be sporadic through 2026. Eventually, we would like to do a tournament at the end of every month - creating the most exciting tournament series in Melbourne.
Feel free to get in touch using the details at the bottom of this page.
Every tournament will have high-quality custom medals for first, second and third place (gold, silver and bronze). There will also be a champion prize, in addition to specific prizes for some events (cash, paddles etc)
The Dink Series utilises pickleball.com for all tournaments - consistent with all major tournaments in Australia.
At the Dink Series, we believe in LARGE tournaments with BIG POOLS and less waiting. We utilise a multi-tiered winning system (pool winner, category winner) for extra HYPE! We believe in minimising tech, keeping things simple and having an awesome time.
No rally scoring, just normal first to 11, win by 2.
To enter into a category (e.g DUPR 3.5-4) - the average of both people must be between 3.40 and 4.00 (tolerance of 0.1 below the minimum).
