Teams have 24 hours to make sure they have completed the Dinner, Housing, and Roster Prep survey as well as start their roster in the online USAU system. If you don’t fill out the survey by then, we will assume your team does not need any housing or Saturday night dinner tickets.

You can check the status of both tasks on the Team Status page.

The following teams have created rosters in the wrong division. Please get this fixed.

The following teams have yet to start an online roster.

The following teams have not completed the Dinner, Housing, and Roster Prep Survey. 

It’s hard to believe we’re only 54 days away until the 5th annual PVI!

Please remember that all teams have until Friday, March 30th to complete two tasks:

1. Complete the Dinner, Housing, and Roster Prep survey. All teams need to fill this form out regardless of dinner and housing needs. If you don’t fill out the survey by then, we will assume your team does not need any housing or Saturday night dinner tickets.
2. Start your event roster in the online USAU system. You don’t need to have any players listed in your EVENT roster by the 30th — You just have to have it created. It can be blank. You can read all about how to get this done on the Paperwork page.

You can check the status of your tasks on the Team Status page.
