If you’ve played fantasy sports, you should be familiar with tiered player rankings. For those who haven’t, here’s a quick primer.
A tiered player ranking is when players are ranked based on certain criteria or categories. In fantasy sports, one such category might be age or position.
For pickleball, we chose other categories, including:
- Dominant Men Who Can Take Over a Match
- Top Three Women
- Women Expected to Be Drafted Early
- Middle Round Guys
- 3rd or 4th Round Draft Locks
- Fringe Premier Players (Women)
- Fringe Premier Players (Men)
As of publishing, we still do not have an official player list from MLP regarding who is eligible to be drafted. However, you can check out our article listing those not participating in MLP in 2024.
These Notable Players Are Not Playing MLP in 2024
The MLP Draft is coming up, and some notable players have withdrawn their eligibility for 2024. Find out who’s not playing this season.
One note, before we get into our rankings. Because the Premier Level draft is an auction draft, there are no actual rounds. However, for the sake of placing players in tiers, we are treating it as though:
- Round 1 = Picks 1-12
- Round 2 = Picks 13-24
- Round 3 = Picks 25-36
- Round 4 = Picks 37-48
