5/13/19 Update

The first draft of the tournament schedule is online here. Detailed notes about the schedule are below.

The schedule will be locked by around 6pm EST on May 14th. Word will be sent out as soon as the schedule is 100% finalized. Please look over the schedule in detail and email josh@pvinvite.org if you see any issues or have any questions.

As is the case with any 18-field, 212-game event, there could be a few glitches in the schedule. We hope not, but if you find any, please let us know immediately.

Please make absolutely sure your paperwork is perfect. As always, you can check the status of your paperwork right here.

As of 10:30pm on 5/13, the following teams have major issues the need to complete before they will be allowed to compete:

  • Forest City Boys
  • Forest City Girls
  • Northampton JV Boys
  • Somerville Boys
  • Somerville Girls

All players must be rostered. Playing with an un-rostered player will result in a team’s immediate ejection.

All teams MUST have a representative at the appropriate captain’s meeting.

All teams must check in before their captain’s meeting. Here’s what will happen at check in:

  • Teams will show us their medical authorization forms.
  • We’ll ask you about any outstanding roster issues (Missing fees, uncleared players, missing dues, waivers, etc.) It would be GREAT if you had none of these issues at check in!
  • We will collect a $100 check from you that we’ll hold as collateral until you hand in your second daily spirit score sheet. You’ll hand in one sheet at the end of games on Saturday and one at the end of games on Sunday. Checks should be made out to “Ultimate Good”. If you absolutely, 100% cannot bring a check, PayPal and Venmo options will be available at check in. Please bring a check if you can.

Scheduling notes

  • Creating perfect pre-event rankings is essentially impossible. That being said, we tried.
  • With this schedule ALL teams have a chance to win Division 1.
  • All teams play at least 6 games.
  • Teams play very few, if any, back to back games all weekend.
  • We did our best to minimize distance teams need to travel between games.
  • We thought we’d be able to eliminate the need for crossover games on Saturday. It turns out it wasn’t possible.
