Hey whats up everybody,

My names Oliver Mayapis and I am a Junior at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. At UIUC I am one of the "Fil-Am' coordinators. My responsibilities include raising as much money and/or resources to donate to a worthy charitable cause within the Philippines. This year my team and I have elected Love146.org as our charitable organization. Love146 is a non-for-profit organization based in the U.S. that battles towards abolishing human trafficking world wide: in particularly southeast Asian. It is estimated that human trafficking is the second largest syndicate next to drug trafficking in the world and this is especially true within the Philippines.

Given this I have organized a 3vs.3 basketball tournament to raise money for Love146. The tournament will be held on Saturday July 18th at the Willow Recreation Center in Hoffman Estates starting sharply at 10:00am with registration and the first round of games at 11am (times will be posted for games shortly once registration ends). ALL PROCEEDS raised from the tournament will be donated towards Love146. The rules and regulations are as followed:

_______

The tournament is open to all players ages, preferably 18-22 years old (2 valid ID's will be required at check-in or you will not be able to play). 4 half courts will be used for the tournament. The games will be 3 on 3 with street basket ball rules applied:

First to 13 points (1's and 2's) and teams must win by two points

OR

Whichever team has the most points by the end of 25 minutes

Each team participating will be guaranteed at least 2 games to play. Teams must consists of 3-5 players. The cost of registering for the tournament is $50 per team (just 10 dollars each for a team of 5) BEFORE the July 3rd deadline. After July 3rd is $65 per team. Register now!

The registration deadline for a given team will be open from now until Friday July 3rd, at 11:59pm. Note: teams that plan to go deep in the tournament could ultimately play 3-5 games in the tournament so it'd be wise to have a full team plus reserves (5 players). General admission for spectators is $3.

The non-refundable registration fee of $50 shall be paid in full before the July 3rd deadline or the team will not be allowed to participate in the tournament. Again you can either contact me through facebook, email at mayapis2@uiuc.edu, or call me at 415-624-9065 to register.
