First pull is in a little over 2 weeks! Here’s what you need to know at this point:
At this point your paperwork should be 100% complete, or you must be very close to being complete. The online system gets locked on May 6th. Please make sure your rosters are PERFECT by then. The teams that have yet to start their online roster and/or have no chaperone added are listed below. All team’s can check the status of their items (as we see them in our systems) on this page. The teams listed below should reply to this email immediately and let us know when your roster is projected to be complete.
All teams should complete the division selection form by Noon on Friday, May 5th.
There is a speed limit of 15mph on Island Rd, the one and ONLY road leading into the Oxbow Marina, our field site. Please abide by this limit. Heck, go 10mph. I just drove the whole road several times a couple days ago at 10mph and each time it took 2.5 to 3 minutes. PLEASE GO SLOW.
Orders for Saturday night dinner tickets can still be made using this online form by May 1st. The Saturday night dinner will take place at Northampton HS.
We’re very happy to report that we are able to house all 17 teams that have requested housing! PVI’s housing director, Mary Clark, will be in touch very soon with housing information for each team. If you don’t hear from her by Friday, May 5th, or you have any immediate questions, please reach out to her at marylclark@gmail.com.
Also, we are now at our housing cap and can’t house any more teams. If you’re still in need of housing at this point, please check out our local guide page.
Please report all of your scores to scorereport.net. Please. We need the data. It’s crucial for the (basically impossible) pre-tournament ranking process.
Teams will be ranked on Friday evening, May 5th.
The overall competition schedule is listed below. There will be 6 rounds of play on Saturday and 6 on Sunday.
There will be no crossovers between divisions this year. You must place in the top 2 in your pool on Saturday to advance to championship bracket of your division.
Most teams will have 6 games. Very few may have 7.
The female-matching division of 24 teams will have an A division of 16 teams and a B division of 8 teams. Pools of 4 on Saturday, bracket play on Sunday.
The open division of 49 teams will have an A division of 16 teams, a B division of 16 teams, and a C division of 17 teams. Pools of 4 on Saturday, bracket play on Sunday. (C division will have one pool of 5.)
We’re projecting a total of 223 games will be played at the PVI2023. Cool.
