Brien Center ‘Rally for Recovery’ Charity Pickleball Tournament / iBerkshires.com

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Brien Center has announced its “Rally for Recovery Pickleball Tournament,” a non-DUPR charity event hosted at Bousquet Sport.

The tournament supports the center’s mission of “Serving Hope” and raising funds for recovery services. All proceeds go toward the Patrick Miller Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Program.

The main events will feature a round-robin format, ensuring that every participating team receives multiple opportunities to play. Larger brackets may be separated into pools, with the highest-performing teams advancing to a playoff round where the overall champions will be crowned.

The tournament will also feature a Mixed Moneyball Showcase, offering a “winner take all” $300 cash prize. This showcase event requires a minimum of four teams to run with the prize money attached.

Regarding refunds, players who withdraw before the registration officially closes—either by the deadline of October 8th or due to the tournament reaching capacity—are eligible for a partial refund. Approved refunds will be processed after the tournament concludes and will be the registration fee minus a $10 processing fee and the non-refundable software usage fee. No refunds will be issued for withdrawals made after registration has officially closed.

The tournament director reserves the right to adjust bracket formats and the number of rounds to ensure each team receives a minimum number of games, and groups may be combined or split based on final registration numbers. All start times are subject to change at the director’s discretion. Furthermore, all players must use USA Pickleball-approved paddles, and paddle compliance will be checked at the event.
