Kasaca Sports Named Ball Partner as Borneo's RM80,000 Pickleball Tournament Returns to Kuching
Andrew LeeKasaca Sports is now the exclusive tournament ball partner of the 2nd Borneo Pickleball International Tournament (BPIT) 2026, supplying its HC-40 Hardcourt ball for the event in Kuching, Sarawak.
The Malaysian brand is also BPIT 2026's Lucky Draw Prize Sponsor, stocking the draw with its own merchandise and equipment for a tournament organisers expect to draw close to 500 players and around 2,000 total visitors.
A RM80,000 Tournament at PIKABOL Malaysia
Now in its second edition, BPIT 2026 runs 7 to 12 October 2026 at PIKABOL Malaysia, a 16-court indoor facility in Kuching billed as Asia's largest indoor pickleball arena. Kasaca's own announcement graphic lists the event running 7 to 11 October, a day shorter than the dates given by the tournament's own organisers and by independent coverage of BPIT 2026, which consistently put the closing date at 12 October.
The tournament carries a combined RM80,000 prize pool, among the richest yet offered for pickleball in Borneo. The headline Team Event alone splits RM40,000 across six placing teams: RM20,000 for the champion, RM10,000 for the runner-up, RM5,000 for third, RM2,500 for fourth, RM1,500 for fifth and RM1,000 for sixth, each with trophies and medals. Individual category winners take home RM3,000 apiece.
Joining an Already-Growing Partner List
Kasaca is the latest name added to a sponsor roster BPIT 2026 had been assembling for weeks. OCI TerraSus, the polysilicon producer that operates a plant at Samalaju Industrial Park in Bintulu, came on as the tournament's main sponsor. Five hotels, Pullman Kuching, Meritin Hotel, Harbour View Hotel, Riverside Majestic Hotel and Grand Margherita Hotel, were named official accommodation partners, AirBorneo signed on as the official airline partner, and Paradesa Borneo took on travel and tour arrangements. Organisers also opened 10 vendor spaces for sports, wellness and pickleball brands, a package that closed for bookings on 21 September.
The lineup fits the tournament's own scale. Organised by the Kuching Pickleball Association, BPIT 2026 is expected to bring in close to 500 players from Sarawak, Sabah, Peninsular Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines.
Kasaca's Own Track Record
Kasaca designs paddles, balls, nets and court accessories with operations centred in Taiwan, and states it serves players and clubs worldwide alongside wholesale and OEM partnerships. Its HC-40 Hardcourt ball, the model it will supply at BPIT 2026, is marketed on consistency and durability built for hardcourt play.
The brand's Malaysia arm has built a genuine grassroots presence over the past several months. Sponsored athletes have medaled at the 2026 Tomaz Cup, and Roy Tey, a Kasaca brand ambassador, took first place in the MD Combine under-7.0 category at MYCOURTCLASH. Kasaca has added two Community Leaders in Malaysia since July, and runs regular weekly social sessions across the Klang Valley.
BPIT 2026 runs 7 to 12 October at PIKABOL Malaysia, with team and individual registration still open through Pickleball Global.
