For my first independent project I am co-leading a basketball tournament with my classmate Driskell Jack. The main purpose for me to make this one of my lead projects is that i feel that if the teams are picked according to what class the students are in. What I hoped to have happen is the that there will be one team captain and that the chosen captain would pick his team according to both skills in the sport and who they don't know. This way they can grow more comfortable with students that they don't know. What I was hoping to have happen would be that the winning class could gain spirit points because of the fact that the roster was based off of class.
The way that the tournament would work would be that we would have to games going on at the two different half courts. Going sideline to sideline. Like the NCAA the tournament would go by with a one game elimination process. But that depends on the number of teams that we can get to sign up for the event. If we don't get the number of students that we were hoping for then we would just have it as a two game elimination process.
I envisioned for the tournament to last about two weeks after it begins. What I believe would interfere with the project from happening according to plan would be someone from one of the teams not being able to make it. That is why I wanted to appoint one team captain because of the fact that they could be my way of keeping in touch with the team. I will get the contact information of the team captain so that I can send them the details of when games are so that they can contact their team mates and make sure beforehand that there will be someone either taking a test or not coming to school that day.
