NEED YOUR HELP......This weekend I am running the Arrowhead Tournament Invitational at the UMD Campus. This is a High School age basketball tournament. There are 16 talented teams that we have invited to the tournament from North Dakota, Canada, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Local teams are Duluth East and Duluth Denfeld. We are short staffed, and we are looking for basketball enthusiasts that would like to make a little extra money. We can pay $15/game Tournament is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Work is divided into 4 game sessions, lasting about 4 hours. We need help with ticket takers, scorebooks, score clock, video broadcasting (just monitor camera), etc. There are a total of 32 games. 4 Friday night, then Saturday and Sunday. Take as much or as little work as you want. If you don't want to work the tournament, please come to the games and support teams. Message me if you have can help us out or with any questions. Thanks in advance for all you help........ Hugh
