FYI2026: First pull in less than 24 hours!

A few last items:

  • Please make sure you drive 15mph or slower on Island Pond Road. This is the last road you’re on before getting to the fields.
  • Please look over the program and captains’ meeting notes one more time. We’ve made some updates to both documents. (No changes have been made to the schedule since it went final.)
  • Please walk the field with your whole team before the first game! Scan for the work of animals 🙂
  • Phone numbers you should program into your cell phone: Josh (TD/Scorekeeper, 802-748-8857), Lee (TD, 347-831-3800), Kelli (Trainer, 413-575-8251), Gary (Trainer, 413-374-4309), Steven (Water, 413-425-3421)

Remember:

  1. If you team plays in the first round: Check in at Tournament Central by 7:55 and attend the captains meeting at 8.
  2. If your team has a first round bye: Check in at Tournament Central by 9:30am and attend the captains meeting at 9:35am.

See you soon!

FYI2026: 3 days to go!

So excited to see you all in just under 3 days!

The captains meeting notes are now online. Please read them.

At least one person per team needs to join our Remind group by texting @fyi2026ult to the number 81010. It would be awesome if 2-3 people on each team joined up. I will be using this text group to send out updates during the event.

All teams playing in the first round need to check in at the tournament central tent with their approved chaperone by 7:55am. Team with a first round bye need to check in by 9:30. At check in chaperones will complete a couple quick tasks, the most important being showing me their team’s medical authorization forms. Note that I am NOT collecting these forms. They can be digital. You just have to show me that you have them. Here is an example of what a medical authorization form looks like.

Know the schedule.

Know the program.

See you soon!

Please look over everything in detail and make sure it all makes sense.

Key items to fully understand the schedule:

  • All teams will be re-ranked after round 3.
  • “A1” = Starting rank 1 in Pool A before pool play
  • “1A” = Finished rank 1 in Pool A after pool play
  • [a] = Game a
  • Wa = Winner of game a, La = Loser of game a

See you in a week!

FYI2026: 10 days to go!

Hello everyone!

Here’s where we stand as of 1pm on Wednesday, 10/14.

These teams are still missing items and are not cleared to play.

Teams that have not paid and submitted both the chaperone and roster forms by 6pm on Monday night, 10/19 will be dropped from the event.

As always, the team status sheet can be viewed here.

Due a bit of possible flux in the number of teams at the event (Open may drop to 14 or 15, Female-Matching may go up to 7!), the exact game schedule will not be released until Tuesday morning, 10/20. Of course, if I am able to draft a schedule before then, I will send it out. That being said:

  • All teams will get at least 4 games. Most till get 5.
  • Games will start at ~8:30am and run until ~4:45pm.
  • Captain’s meeting will be at 7:45am.

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

  • Josh (josh@pvinvite.org)
