In having this charity basketball event for the kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, Inc. we would like to have the members of the fraternity to exclusively operate and oversea the entire tournament. To help all spectators easily identify who are the members of the Fraternity, each member will wear his signature chapter shirt.
The chapter president will act as the manager of the entire tournament, he will delegate duties, oversea work, and make sure things are moving along smoothly and in an orderly fashion. At the conclusion of the championship he will be the one to present the winning team with their award plaque.
Two of the delegated duties would include operating the scoreboard and recoding the player statistics in the books. The tournament manager (Chapter President) would appoint two of his chapter members to do one of the said tasks. The game will also need referees to call the games, so there will need to be four members of the chapter who takes on this role. Each game would have two referees, with two games going on at a time to ensure the tournament goes by faster and more efficiently.
Also two members will be called upon to be the announcers for the games. This creates a more realistic electric atmosphere to give the participants and spectators the best experience possible. Spectators will be ushered in and directed to their seats, so this will require 1-2 members from the chapter to be chosen for this position depending on the turnout.
The remaining members of the fraternity will simply be in the stands interacting with the spectators and providing general information of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. in hopes to gain new members and increase awareness of this organization. This same group pf people will also be responsible for providing entertainment for the crowd at halftime of the championship game. This will include the members performing their traditional stroll (dance) and singing of their fraternity’s song.
These are all the ways the members of the chapter will be utilized to maximize exposure and create a smooth function. To promote the tournament we have designed a flyer that will be posted on campus and the community. Also we encourage the all members of the chapter to post information in regards to the tournament on various social media outlets such Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
As far as the actual tournament goes it will be comparable to a college style tournament, it will feature 16 teams at a rate of $100 dollars per team with a maximum roster size of 8 players. This will bring the total funds raised to $1,600; with $500 going to the winning team and $1,000 towards St. Jude and the remaining $100
