Dye Tournament
White shirts, color bombs, chaos.
Dye tournaments — sometimes called "color tourneys" — are a chapter-favorite for one reason: every single photo from them goes viral inside the IG account. Low cost to throw, high social return.
Logistics matter more than people expect. Bracket setup, tarp-down zones, and a real water station save you from chaos.
Running a dye tournament
Bracket the chapter into pairs or teams of three. Single-elimination, three rounds.
Tarps down on the ground for each round. Cleanup is 80% of the actual work.
White t-shirts at the entrance — buy a bulk pack and pass them out so everyone matches.
Color powder is the spectacle. Get the full rainbow, not just one color.
Water station for between rounds. Hydration matters, especially outdoors in summer.
