This Is Pickle Wars

Pickle Wars was founded by 17-year-old Connor Porry with one simple goal: build something special for the players. What started as a local tournament quickly grew into one of Miami’s most exciting pickleball movements.

After hosting his first event on January 5–6, 2024—with over 200 players—Connor teamed up with the Top Level crew to run tournaments almost every month throughout the year. Their partnership helped lay the foundation for something bigger.

Once the league season wrapped, Connor was ready to explore a new direction. What if players weren’t just competing for fun—but for the full prize pool?

That’s how JUST $BALL was born: a bold, player-first tournament format where every dollar from registration goes straight into the players’ prize pool. No cuts. No fluff. Just $BALL. For Connor, it’s not about making money—it’s about giving players the best possible experience.

The first Pickle Wars: JUST $BALL tournament wasn’t possible alone. It took the help of Yamil Diaz and Chino Gonzalez—two elite players who made sure the event was built around what the players really want.

Now, JUST $BALL runs monthly. Other groups have tried to copy the idea, but no one delivers it like we do.

All glory to God.
