UTR Sports today announced a new partnership with the MoneyBall Tour (MBT), naming UTR Sports as the Exclusive Pickleball Tournament Management Software (TMS) to leverage UTR-P Rating data at all MBT tournaments nationwide.
Starting this fall, every MBT event—spanning 150+ tournaments annually across 48 venues in the United States—will run exclusively on the UTR Sports platform. With 3–4 tournaments held weekly, MBT will feature amateur and open/pro men’s, women’s, mixed, and singles divisions, offering players a chance to compete for up to $8,000 in prize money per tournament.
The inaugural MoneyBall Tour tournament will be held in Miami on Nov. 1-2, 2025, with over 400 competitors expected to compete. The event schedule can be found here.
“As both a competitive player and a tournament director, I can’t say enough about how seamless UTR Sports has made this entire process for the MoneyBall Tour,” said Sophia Deaguero, Director of Tournaments. “Their platform takes care of everything, from brackets to live score reporting, so we can focus on the competition and the player experience instead of worrying about the backend details. Even more impressive has been the UTR Sports team itself: they’ve been unbelievably helpful and accessible every step of the way, walking us through the system, answering every question, and making sure we are set up perfectly for opening day. It’s been such a smooth transition into a new system, and their support has made all the difference.”
All players competing on the MoneyBall Tour will be able to register, track results, and claim their free UTR-P Rating through the UTR Sports platform. The UTR-P Rating is the gold standard in pickleball—helping match players more competitively while connecting them to the global UTR Sports community.
“Our mission is to grow pickleball by delivering world-class tournaments and trusted ratings that enhance every player’s experience,” said Chase Hodges, Senior Vice President at UTR Sports. “The MoneyBall Tour represents one of the most ambitious competitive pickleball circuits in the U.S., and together we will provide players at every level with more opportunities to compete and progress.”
For tournament directors and organizers, UTR Sports’ platform streamlines the entire process—from registration to results—saving time and improving efficiency.
The MoneyBall Tour is designed to connect communities and elevate competitive pickleball through weekly prize-money events. With the integration of UTR Sports technology, every match on the MBT counts toward a player’s verified UTR-P Rating, providing a clear pathway for players to measure progress and understand their level.
