We are only 30 days away from the 5th annual Pioneer Valley Invitational!

I’m currently super worried about these teams:

Amherst JVB Boys (No roster started)
Northampton JV Boys (No roster started)
Northampton V Boys (No roster started)
PVPA Boys (No roster started)
Watchung Hills Boys (No roster started)
Lexington JV Boys (Missing tourney fee)
Lexington V Boys (Missing tourney fee)
Somerville Girls (Missing tourney fee)

Please fix what’s wrong and help me be less worried.

Here are the super important items you need to focus on at this point:

1. The roster deadline is coming up in 9 days on Friday, April 27th! All of your paperwork needs to be completed by 6pm EST that day. 
2. Please look over the Team Status spreadsheet and let me know immediately if you see any errors.
3. Dinner payments ($12.50 per person) are due by May 4th.
4. The fee for housing is $50 per team and is due by May 4th.

Checks should be made out to “Ultimate Good” and sent to Josh Seamon, PVI2018, 3 Payson Ave #1, Easthampton, MA 01027. Make sure that your team’s name and division is in the memo field, along with what the check is for. If you payment has not arrived by May 4th, you will not be able to get dinner tickets or be supplied with housing.

The tournament is now completely full with 24 girls teams and 44 boys teams!

If you’d like to get on the waiting list, please email me (josh@pvinvite.org) ASAP.

All teams should take a quick minutes to look over the Team Status spreadsheet. Things to keep in mind:

1. Email me immediately if you see something wrong with the data on that sheet.
2. All rosters must be 100% complete by April 27th. DO NOT WAIT to get this done. Own the tasks on the Paperwork page.
3. Dinner payments ($12.50 per person) are due by May 4th.
4. The fee for housing is $50 per team and is due by May 4th.

Teams have 24 hours to make sure they have completed the Dinner, Housing, and Roster Prep survey as well as start their roster in the online USAU system. If you don’t fill out the survey by then, we will assume your team does not need any housing or Saturday night dinner tickets.

You can check the status of both tasks on the Team Status page.

The following teams have created rosters in the wrong division. Please get this fixed.

The following teams have yet to start an online roster.

The following teams have not completed the Dinner, Housing, and Roster Prep Survey. 

It’s hard to believe we’re only 54 days away until the 5th annual PVI!

Please remember that all teams have until Friday, March 30th to complete two tasks:

1. Complete the Dinner, Housing, and Roster Prep survey. All teams need to fill this form out regardless of dinner and housing needs. If you don’t fill out the survey by then, we will assume your team does not need any housing or Saturday night dinner tickets.
2. Start your event roster in the online USAU system. You don’t need to have any players listed in your EVENT roster by the 30th — You just have to have it created. It can be blank. You can read all about how to get this done on the Paperwork page.
