Lightning, Clearance

Since our fields drain so well, the only thing that has a realistic chance of pushing us off the fields is lightning. There is a chance for lightning on Saturday.

If there is a lighting strike within 10 miles of the field site, we will text everyone to clear the fields. We will also use a horn, but since the fields are so large, horns can’t cover the whole space. Please make sure you have at least one person with their cell phone at all times that has joined the tournament Remind group. (Text @pvi2025 to 81010 to join.) If you see a message saying to clear the fields but it’s clear another team hasn’t, please tell them. Immediately.

We will be off the fields for at least 30 minutes. All game start times and end (hard cap) times will be incremented by the time lost. For example, if play stops at 1:00 on Saturday and resumes at 1:50, for a loss of 50 minutes…

a) the new cap for the 12:30 game is 2:35 (1:45 + 50 minutes)
b) the new start time for the next round is 2:50 (2:00 + 50 minutes)
c) the new cap for the next round is 4:05 (3:15 + 50 minutes)

The round after that would be incremented in the same way.

Here are the teams that are currently not cleared to play. As always, you can check the status of your team’s items on the team status sheet.

Here are the current chaperone issues.
