DXD South Detailing Backs New Pickleball League, Kicks Off with Star-Studded Invitational in Bulacan

MALOLOS, BULACAN — Automotive care and detailing company DXD South Detailing is stepping into the growing Philippine pickleball scene as the exclusive Presenting Partner of the inaugural DXD Invitational Pickleball Tournament, happening on December 6, 2026, at Bang Bang Bebu in Malolos, Bulacan.

Organized by the newly established USAD Pickleball League (UPL), the one-day tournament aims to bring together up to 232 players across different skill levels, combining organized competition, community engagement, and the excitement of a professionally staged sporting event.

Known for its automotive detailing services and car care products, DXD South Detailing is also the authorized Philippine distributor of Singapore-based automotive care brand Artdeshine, which specializes in advanced coatings, paint protection, and detailing solutions.

The company also offers its own range of automotive maintenance products, including car shampoos, cleaning solutions, and protective sealants.

For DXD South Detailing, supporting pickleball is a natural extension of its relationship with the community and the content creators who have supported the brand.

“We’ve grown to love pickleball not just as a sport, but also as a way to connect and bond with our affiliates,” shared Ivy Dolotallas, Co-owner of DXD South Detailing.

“Supporting this tournament felt like a natural way for us to give back to the community that has supported us throughout the years. It’s an opportunity to bring everyone together, strengthen relationships, and simply enjoy a sport we all love.”

Content Creators Take Their Game to the Court

Adding excitement to the inaugural tournament is the participation of several recognizable personalities from the automotive, motorcycle, lifestyle, and digital content creation communities.

Among those set to compete are Karl Sena (Karlito), Ned Adriano, Piper Moto, and Hershel, alongside fellow content creators and personalities Idol Moto, Yang de Castro, James Teng, Krista Miller, Picklebear Anjo, Paula Santos, and Fiona Gicale, among others.

Rather than participating solely as celebrity guests, these personalities will compete across different tournament categories alongside fellow pickleball enthusiasts.

Their participation reflects how pickleball is bringing together people from different industries and communities through a shared passion for sports.

Bringing the Professional Tournament Experience to Everyday Players

Founded by athlete and content creator Karl Sena, UPL was established with a vision of making professionally organized pickleball tournaments more accessible to beginners, recreational athletes, and competitive amateur players.

The league believes that players do not need to be professionals to experience the excitement and atmosphere of a professional sporting event.

Through organized competition, quality event presentation, and a welcoming community environment, UPL hopes to encourage more Filipinos to discover the sport and pursue their own pickleball journeys.

The DXD Invitational will feature Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles across four skill levels: Beginners, Novice, Low Intermediate, and High Intermediate.

The Beginners division will be strictly invitational, with participants carefully selected to help maintain fair competition and provide genuine newcomers with an encouraging tournament experience.

Meanwhile, the Novice, Low Intermediate, and High Intermediate categories will be open to eligible participants.

The event will also feature DUPR-recorded competition, allowing participating players to build their competitive records through organized matches.

More Than Just a Tournament

Beyond the competition, the DXD Invitational aims to celebrate the growing community surrounding pickleball, bringing together athletes, creators, supporters, and brands in one sporting event.

The tournament will feature partner-supported prizes, giveaways, and opportunities for players to connect with fellow enthusiasts.

For those unable to follow the action at the venue, matches from a dedicated livestream court will be broadcast through the official UPL Facebook Page, featuring competition across different divisions.

As UPL prepares for its inaugural event, the partnership with DXD South Detailing marks an important first step toward building a tournament platform that values competitive excellence, community participation, and lasting relationships.

With its first tournament set for December 6, UPL hopes to establish an environment where every player, regardless of experience, can enjoy the excitement of stepping onto a bigger competitive stage.
