About Meet the Organizers & Officials
When you sign up for a Chembur Basketball tournament, you aren’t just getting a game slot. You’re getting a dedicated team that manages the entire production—from live MC commentary and scoreboard tracking to FIBA-standard officiating and post-game social media highlights. We don't just run events; we curate a vibe, ensuring every player, from the U-11s to the open division pros, feels the energy of the court the moment they step onto the concrete.
Running a basketball scene in Mumbai takes more than just a hoop and a ball. It takes a village of organizers, referees, and volunteers who thrive on the madness. Our core team is the engine room of every Hooplah event, and we take our roles seriously—even if we don't take ourselves seriously.
You’ve got legends like Roshan, who wears every hat from referee to prankster, and Anirudh, who keeps our sponsors happy while keeping the team grounded. We balance the professional side—like our senior-panel referees ensuring clean, competitive play—with the chaotic fun that makes our tournaments memorable.
Whether it’s Mikhail bringing fire to the court or Bala dominating the rim (and plotting his next prank), everyone on our crew plays a vital part. We focus on the granular details so you can focus on your game: live scoreboards, match photography, and those critical MC announcements that keep the crowd buzzing. If you’re looking for a tournament environment where the community atmosphere matters just as much as the final scoreboard, you’re in the right place.
