The paddles came back out — and louder
A little over a year after the inaugural edition, Nopany Pickleball 2.0 brought the Association back to the court on 6th September 2026 at Sportsplex Turf, Tangra. Where NPB 1.0 had six franchises, this one had eight — split into two groups, with only one crown at the end of the day.
The build-up ran for six weeks. Team-ownership slots opened at the end of July, sponsors came on board through August, and registrations from across batches pushed the field well past the first edition. Leading it all were convenors Vivek Bhagat (Batch 2003) and Saurabh Agarwal (Batch 2006).
