Volunteers Wanted – Jackpot Joker

Would you like your ACTEBA season fees covered simply by helping out for an hour on a Tuesday night?

ACTEBA is looking for volunteers to assist with the Harmonie German Club Jackpot Joker.

✅ Help out for 1 night and we’ll cover 50% of your season fees
✅ Help out for 2 nights and we’ll cover 100% of your season fees
✅ Already paid your fees? We’ll refund them accordingly

The best part? It’s easy!

All you need to do is spend approximately 1 hour walking around the club selling Jackpot Joker tickets. You’ll meet members and patrons, help raise valuable funds for ACTEBA, and have a bit of fun along the way.

Mid-Year Comp

Due to the six-week break between seasons we will be running a short competition on Thursday nights.

Entries are here: https://www.playhq.com/sports/register/cf12ed

Details are attached. Click here to view PDF document

The competition aims to include a few aspects to the game that we don’t get much exposure to here:

  • Match clocks
  • Shorter shot clock
  • “Rundown” format – Higher-ranked teams start on negative scores and must chase down the lower ranked teams before the match clock runs out

Teams are both salary capped and handicapped to ensure that players of all skill levels can enter and have a fair crack at the prize money.

Entries are open now and close on Monday 8th June with the first matches on Thursday 11th June. Get your teams together and start putting those entries in!

Any questions or clarifications please contact the Tournament Director, some aspects will be unknown until we have the final entry numbers.
