This strategic collaboration was officially launched at The SYPIK MASTERS 2025, one of Southeast Asia’s premier pickleball events — but its scope goes far beyond a single tournament. Moving forward, all Baseline-managed events will include YAS ACTYVE, Malaysia’s No.1 sports protection plan — giving athletes peace of mind as they compete, and offering organizers a smarter, safer way to run events.
“Baseline was created to make tournaments better for everyone — organizers, players, and fans,” said Dylan Damsma, Co-founder of Baseline.
“With seamless tools for event management and our easy to use registration system, we’re now elevating that experience even further by teaming up with YAS to protect every player from the start.”
“This partnership isn’t just about coverage — it’s about setting a new gold standard for local sports,” said Andy Ann, Co-founder and CEO of YAS.
“At YAS, we’ve reimagined what insurance can be — faster, easier, and more affordable for active lifestyles. By integrating ACTYVE into every Baseline tournament, we’re not only protecting players, but also making quality coverage more accessible than ever. Together with Baseline, we’re building a smarter sports ecosystem where performance and peace of mind go hand in hand.”
