After formal review of the events at the MLP Columbus 2025 event, it has been determined that Ben Johns and Collin Johns were granted permission to withdraw from their remaining matches through on-site league approval. Ben Johns and Collin Johns have agreed to forfeit their event payouts for the four matches in which they did not appear. Our Tour Operations Team will continue to aim to have lighting standards for all future events, while also balancing the realities of our event venues. Many factors go into the venues that MLP and PPA select, including operations, the opportunity to play in new communities, the ability to showcase the sports within iconic and unique facilities and more - all with the overarching goal to grow the game.

Statement from UPA CEO @connorpardoe_pb and MLP Commissioner @SaminOdhwani "We are thrilled with the overall passion, excitement, and high level of play to start the 2025 MLP season, and want to keep the focus on the court for the duration of the event in Columbus. That said, UPA will be officially reviewing the full set of circumstances and context around the Carolina Hogs. Any potential disciplinary measures will be shared early next week."
