MORE THAN A MEDAL

The Rally for Good Tournament Series.

The Rally for Good Tournament Series is the first of its kind.

This is a year-long pickleball tournament series designed to bring people together around something bigger than the game. Across six tournaments throughout the year, players, clubs, and nonprofits unite to raise funds and awareness for causes that matter and make a difference in our community.

Each event supports a different Middle Georgia nonprofit, blending friendly competition with community impact. Players still chase medals and club pride, but the real win is the difference we make together.

This is where we live, work, and play.

Rally for Good is focused on making a real difference right here at home.

Pickleball tournaments in Macon began as a way to give back. Our first, Home Court with Habitat for Humanity, showed us the power of combining play with purpose. Over time, tournaments everywhere became more about competition than community. Rally for Good brings the two back together, reminding us that we can play hard and give back.

When you register, you’ll choose a pickleball club to play for. Clubs earn points through competitive results and donations, building friendly rivalries and deepening community connections along the way. 

Whether you’re representing your town association or rallying a group of friends under a new banner, every match moves your club up the leaderboard.

Pricing

Affordable for players. Impactful for our community. Your registration helps fund local nonprofits while keeping competition accessible.

Includes Two Events!

Choose the pickleball club or association you want to represent, Macon Pickleball, Warner Robins, or any club you call home. When you play, you’re part of something bigger than a single match. You’ll compete for your own medal while also earning points for your club. Leaderboards will track both medals and donations to show the impact each association is making throughout the year.

Rally for Two Cups

Beyond earning medals in every division, every match you play and every dollar you donate pushes your club closer to a championship. Points are earned through performance on the court and generosity off of it.

Champions Cup

Competitive performance will determine the winner of the Champions Cup, recognized after each tournament and at the conclusion of the series. For each tournament, the top 30 individual finishers from each club will score for their team. Five (5) points will be awarded for a gold medal, three (3) points will be awarded for a silver medal and one (1) point will be awarded for a bronze medal. For the series, results from the top 30 individual finishers from each club for each tournament will be combined to determine the overall winner. In the event of a tie in team scoring, co-champions will be declared.

Community Cup

Philanthropic performance will determine the winner of the Community Cup, recognized after each tournament and at the conclusion of the series. Every registration includes an opportunity to give, with all donations credited back to a player’s club. For each tournament, the top 30 donors from each club will score for their team. Scoring will be based on the dollar amount raised by each club. For the series, the amount raised by the top 30 finishers from each club for each tournament will be combined to determine the overall winner. In the event of a tie in team donations, co-champions will be declared.​​

Play with Purpose

Together, we can create a season of sport that strengthens our community from the inside out.

Every tournament has a direct impact. Through registration fees, optional donations, sponsorships, and visibility, Rally for Good amplifies the work of nonprofits doing real good in Middle Georgia. Rhythm & Rally donates 10 percent of every tournament’s registration fees to that event’s nonprofit partner and players can choose to give even more during sign-up.
