Big dill of the day: Today is the official “sneak peek” soft launch of Pickleball.com, a merger of PickleballTournaments.com and PickleballBrackets.com, along with PickleballCentral.com, PPA and TopCourt as partners. Its editors note that the full roll out is slated for January, with a “next generation tournament platform, individual profile pages packed with amazing stats, features and new ways to connect with your friends, expanded leagues/ladders/clubs, upgraded court finder, ratings, gaming, and so much more.”

From the press release announcement:

Pickleball.com brings together the data, content, and expertise of the following companies: the PPA Tour, home of the best pro players in the world playing over 20 events at top venues across the country; Pickleball Tournaments and Pickleball Brackets, the leaders with over 95 percent market share in tournament software, are combining their expertise to deliver a next-generation experience for tournaments, leagues, and ladders; TopCourt, a leader in online pickleball and tennis instruction, and Pickleball Central the leading pickleball ecommerce platform with gear for people of all ages and levels.
