The PPA told CNBC that MLP has not yet signed the partnership deal they verbally agreed to 10 months ago.

In the last year, MLP has seen continued growth with new, high-profile ownership groups, growing team valuations, new sponsorships and media deals.The Professional Pickleball Association and Major League Pickleball are now at odds after announcing in November that they would join forces and PPA owner Tom Dundon and MLP owner Steve Kuhn had agreed to operate the joint league under the MLP brand name and format. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed at the time.

Pardoe claims MLP executives have recently gone radio silent. He also said PPA was made aware by some of its players that MLP had begun reaching out with lucrative offers. He said PPA would consider litigation if MLP were to improperly poach players. Kuhn told CNBC that there are"numerous misrepresentations of reality" taking place, without providing specifics.
