MLP Asia has unveiled the gold Championship Rings that its first-season winners will receive. The rings feature an orange enamel pickleball, navy details and clear stones; they will be presented on Super Saturday, 12 December, when the inaugural champions are crowned.
The season opens on 13 November, with teams playing across three weeks before the top four advance to the MLP Asia Finals 2026. The semifinals are scheduled for 11 December, ahead of the title matches.

The rings give MLP Asia’s inaugural title a visible prize, while its home-and-away team format brings league competition to venues across the region.
Two Mindanao provinces have announced tournaments offering more than ₱2.5 million in combined prize money. Sultan Kudarat’s national event, part of Kalimudan Festival 2026, runs from 14 to 16 November 2026 and will feature Vietnamese pro Quang Duong in an exhibition appearance.
Malitbog’s inaugural Mayor’s Cup is scheduled for 21 to 24 January 2027, with nine novice and intermediate divisions and ₱1 million in prizes. The announcements bring competitive opportunities and substantial prize pools beyond the Philippines’ major-city hubs.

The events offer players across Mindanao more chances to compete, including divisions for novice and intermediate skill levels, while putting local governments at the center of the region’s pickleball growth.
Team USA는 Pool A에서 3승 무패를 기록하며 모든 경기를 휩쓸었다. Asia Domestic도 다음 라운드에 진출했다. 미국을 대회 첫 DreamBreaker까지 몰아붙였지만, 결국 3-2로 패했다. Pool B에서는 3팀이 나란히 2승 1패를 기록했고, Latin America가 1위, Europe East가 2위로 올라섰다. Australia는 타이브레이커에서 밀려 탈락했다. 각 조 상위 2팀은 일요일 텍사스의 Brookhaven Country Club에서 열리는 단판 토너먼트에 진출한다.
Coachino 분석
Asia Domestic의 준결승 진출은 대회 참가 팀들의 경쟁력이 폭넓다는 점을 보여준다. 조별리그 타이브레이커는 팀 대회에서 게임과 포인트 득실 차이가 진출 여부를 좌우할 수 있음을 다시 드러냈다.
Hunter Johnson beat Tama Shimabukuro in the PPA Tour Asia Hong Kong Slam men’s singles final, after defeating Federico Staksrud in the semifinals. Crowds packed Kai Tak Arena for an event offering $1.1 million in prize money and 1,500 World Pickleball Ranking points.
Staksrud’s quarterfinal comeback against Hong Kit Wong drew controversy: an extended equipment timeout and a 1-point penalty for inappropriate language preceded his 12-10 deciding-game win. Anna Leigh Waters won women’s doubles with Anna Bright and mixed doubles with Ben Johns.
Coachino 분석
For athletes and coaches, the Staksrud-Wong match puts equipment readiness and on-court conduct in focus: both became central issues during a closely contested deciding game.
