When even Lebron James gets in on the pickleball craze, you know it’s for real.

And later this month, you can experience some elite pickle-balling for yourself, as the soon to open pickleball venue and restaurant Pickle & Chill will host the final Major League Pickleball tournament of the year.

MLP Columbus, which will take place Oct. 14-16, will be a three-day tournament that includes 48 players across 12 pickleball teams, all playing for their share of a $100,000 purse, the largest in professional pickleball history.

Each match will consist of four games (women’s doubles, men’s doubles and two mixed doubles), in addition to a singles tiebreaker match if necessary. The finals, which will be aired live on CBS Sports, will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 16.

Complimentary tickets for the event are available here.

Pickle & Chill, which is located at 880 W. Henderson Ave., plans to hold its grand opening in November.
