5/15 Update

Screen Shot 2014-05-04 at 8.52.26 PMAll 1,000 things we can control to pull off this event are coming together quite well. We are SUPER excited to see all of you this weekend! Here’s we stand:

1) Remember that the captains’ meeting is at 8am on Saturday at Tournament Central. All teams must be represented regardless of byes. The meeting is super important and will last 5 minutes or less. Cool, eh?

2) The tournament program is now online (PDF). Please look it over and let me know if you have any questions.

3) Team paperwork is looking quite good. Rosters are by and large looking fantastic. If you still need to make roster modifications/updates, you actually still have time! I got USAU to keep the roster system open until this Sunday. So, go to it and make sure your roster is 100% clean.

4) Remember, your team will not be allowed to play until your dinner ticket payment has been paid. We will accept cash or checks. Checks should be made out to “Ultimate Good”. Here’s what teams owe:

Amherst JVB Open MA $80.00
Concord-Carlisle Girls MA $120.00
Concord-Carlisle A Open MA $160.00
Concord-Carlisle B Open MA $180.00
Cumberland Open ME $80.00
Cumberland Girls ME $90.00
Falmouth Girls ME $100.00
Falmouth Open ME $200.00
Lexington Girls MA $100.00
Needham A Girls MA $130.00
Needham B Girls MA $100.00
Ottawa Open ON $50.00

5) Yes, we are keeping a close eye on the weather. Right now it looks like we’re going to get decently hammered with rain on Friday night, but that the rain should taper off on Saturday morning. Our fields dry out quick, so we’ll be good to go on Saturday. That being said, please plan on dealing with some wet weather. I will let you know immediately if the weather is going to impact game schedules. Right now, everything looks fine.

A note about the weather

Yes, we are quite aware that there is some precipitation heading our way:

Here’s what you need to know
1) It’s quite likely that we’re going to get a healthy amount of rain on Saturday, and a bit on Sunday. Please plan your gear accordingly.
2) It would take an utterly colossal amount of rain for the event to be in danger. The fields we’re on drain very well, and they are currently comfortably dry.
3) I will let you know via email the moment the weather even has any chance of impacting the schedule of the event.
4) There is no rain date. Well before we even get close to having to cancel the event, we’d modify the schedule.

Right now, we’re fine.

It’s going to be warm and the fields will be soft and a bit slick. #perfectforlayouts
