MOKARAKA

A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT what's
happening on
the day
Everyone will be divided into six teams
These teams will compete in multiple games throughout the day.
Each team will then select players for each event so that whānau can rotate throughout the day.
Throughout the day teams will be scored using a points system:
Points are awarded per game, 1st = 5 pts, 2nd = 4 pts, etc.
Final scores are tallied to crown the winning team, but you will have to stick around for the duration of the reunion to find out who the winner is!
