5/17 Updates

Screen Shot 2016-04-12 at 11.37.13 AMThe complete tournament schedule has been finalized. Please look it over and let me know ASAP if you have any questions.

While we will have lots of water at the field site, and jugs spread around all of the fields, it would be a big help if each team could make sure to bring a large water jug to fill when needed.

All teams are currently cleared to play except for Needham B Boys.

The following teams have players on their rosters that are NOT cleared to play because they are either missing their USAU waiver or have not paid their dues: Acton-Boxborough (Boys), Andover (Boys), Andover (Girls), Hopkinton (Boys), Longmeadow JV (Girls), Needham B (Boys), PVPA (Boys), PVPA (Girls), and Scarsdale (Boys). Please clean up your rosters.

All teams must check in on Saturday morning between 7:45 and 8:15am at tournament central. The whole team does not need to be present at checkin. The person checking in your team MUST be one of the chaperones listed on your roster. Here’s what will happen and what will be checked when you arrive. Please note that all of these items are 100% required for participation.

  • Introduce at least one of your NCSI background checked chaperones
  • Show us the medical authorization forms you’ll be carrying with your team at all times
  • You’ll clear your roster of any players not at the event
  • You’ll take care of any outstanding USAU waivers and/or dues
  • You’ll hand off one of your captain’s cell phones or $100 cash as a spirit score sheet deposit. (Seriously). You’ll get your deposit back when you hand in your second spirit score sheet on Sunday. Here’s the spirit scoresheet you’ll be completing each day.

A 5 minute captain’s meeting will begin at 8:30am at tournament central. All teams must send at least one representative.

And please remember: Island Road is the only entrance to the Owbow Marina fields. It is narrow and many houses are right up against the road. You must travel at VERY LOW speeds (Less than 15mph at ALL TIMES) on the road. Violation of this rule will result in your entire team being expelled, immediately, from the tournament. The road is not long. Please be VERY careful and travel SLOWLY.

Again, please let me know ASAP if you have any questions.

The entire tournament organizing team cannot wait to host all of you this weekend!
