Benefits for the students
The practical learning opportunity that is created by organising the tournament is invaluable to the students. The students are organised in a committee and have different portfolios (Chairperson, Vice chairperson, Secretary, School liaison, Marketing, Media, Hospitality and Technical). The students have meetings and organise all spheres of the tournament. The lecturer is merely there to provide guidance when needed. On the days of the event, the students are assessed on the success of the tournament. The students then submit a detailed report after the tournament.
The students are required to write press releases for each significant step leading up to and after the tournament. The students are interviewed on radio and submit all information to the Algoa FM “What’s on Diary” web page. The students also prepare sponsorship proposals and seek sponsorship themselves for the tournament.
