Al Rahma Islamic Center of Phoenix (AICP) is proud to announce our upcoming mens basketball tournament, an exciting and competitive event that will bring together talented players in our community. The tournament will be split into two age groups, 15-17 and 18+, ensuring that players are competing against others of similar skill and experience levels.
Each tournament will consist of 4-8 teams, with each team made up of 5-7 members. Only one person can fill out the form for their teammates, who will be called the team leader. The team leader will coordinate their team's participation in the tournament and will be responsible for accurately filling out their teammates' information on the form.
To ensure an inclusive tournament, each team is allowed to have one non-Muslim individual on their team. Participants are required to pay a $20 entrance fee per player, which is due by Friday, May 19th at 8 PM. The team leader is responsible for collecting the entrance fee from their teammates. The fee can be paid in person at AICP (2916 E McDowell Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85008) or via Zelle to Ilyas Arif at 602-918-8972 before the player fee deadline.
Teams failing to collect at least 5 player's entrance fees by the deadline will be disqualified from the tournament.
