Tape-Ball Cricket Tournament!

YOUR DIL NYC is having it's second fundraiser of the year, our much-anticipated tape-ball cricket tournament. For those who are unfamiliar with the tape-ball version of the sport, it is essentially the equivalent of street cricket, played with a tennis ball taped up to reduce bounce.

Only six teams will be able to enter the tournament, which will be played on Saturday June 9th in Manhattan. Each team will be eight people, eight overs wil be played per match. There will be two groups of three teams, the winner of each group will play in the final and the runner-up will play for 3rd place. So each team will get to play at least 2 matches, and 4 out of the 6 teams will play 3 matches during the day.

100% of the team entrance fee will go to YOUR DIL towards the building our our Mansehra school in NWFP, Pakistan, an area with the lowest literacy rate in the country as well as the part of Northern Pakistan that suffered some of the heaviest damage in the earthquake of 2005.
For more information on how to enter your team: http://www.yourdil.org/ny/cricket/
If you want to play but don't have an entire team, let us know and we will match you up with one.
Hope to see you on June 9th!
