The Tunnel to Towers Pickleball Event will be held on February 2, 2025, at Pickleball Plus LLC in West Hempstead, New York. The event is a fundraiser for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, with all proceeds going to the charity.
Event Format
This pickleball tournament will feature an “Up the River” format. Players are paired with a new partner for each game, ensuring they play five total games. Each match lasts 12 minutes, with the winning team determined by the score at the end of the game.
If the score is tied, the next rally point will decide the winner. The winning team advances to the next court, while the losing team moves down. The process continues throughout the event, offering players a dynamic and fast-paced competition.
Registration and Costs
Registration for the event opens on November 15, 2024, and closes on January 15, 2025. The registration fee is $65. As the tournament is a charity event, no refunds will be issued if players choose to withdraw.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which supports the families of fallen first responders and military personnel.

The event will be held indoors at Pickleball Plus LLC, which offers 12 courts with a hardcourt surface. The tournament will use Diadem Pickleball balls, and permanent nets will be in place. There is no parking fee for the event, and all games will be played indoors, eliminating concerns about weather.
Safety and Health
Pickleball is known to be easier on the body than other sports, but players are still encouraged to take safety precautions.
