The Tournament Gets Some Direction
This week our class met Mike Fuller, the Macker National Staff Vice President of Sales and Operations. Mike started as a volunteer Gus Buster and after 25 years with the event continues to lay down the law as our Director of Operations this April. His goal was to begin the conversation on how to run our tournament smoothly while representing Gus Macker in a positive light.
He started this conversation by telling us two things we needed to internalize regarding the Gus Macker Basketball Festival. First, that it is a family oriented event and second, our goal is to make people want to come back year after year. Our tournament, April 29-30th, is the first full scale Michigan tournament of the season so we are under the microscope. If people don't have a good time at our tournament they might not go to another all summer. Under Mike's experienced supervision though, a great experience is guaranteed!

After long discussions on tournament logistics, we got to hear from Mike on what makes Gus Macker truly a special organization and event. He loves being part of the National Staff because he gets to work with positive people everyday. Gus Macker is 44 years of tournaments strong and they continue to maintain a great environment for fans of the sport. What's not to love?
Mike informed us that we have now inspired 2 other cities to start launch parties of their own! So far we have been the only tournament to host a launch party, but since Madison and Shelby's talk with 18 other host cities we've spread the launch party love. We're very excited to hear how they like this new edition to their event!
