Come and watch ZooDisc take on a team of All-Stars assembled by our coach, Russell Wallack, in an Ultimate under the lights showcase!
The game will be at McGuirk Alumni Stadium at UMass on Friday May 19th from 7-9PM! Tell your friends and family! Admission is free for this elite showcase of ultimate talent!
The game is sure to be amazing! Come cheer on some unreal Ultimate and support UMass in the week leading up to their trip out to Nationals! You can learn more about the game on the Facebook Event page.
All teams must check in at tournament central on Saturday — by 7:40am if you’re playing in the first round and by 9:20am if you have a first round bye. Here’s what we’ll be checking:
We will also be collecting a $100 check from each team at check in. The check will be returned on Sunday once your team has submitted a spirit score sheet for every game played. Checks should be made out to “Ultimate Good” and your team’s name and division should be written in the memo field of the check.
Please note that all of the above items must be taken care of before your team will be allowed to start playing.
At checkin your teams will receive dinner tickets (if purchased) and a tournament information packet that will include a program as well as spirit score sheets for each game.
You can check the status of your team’s paperwork on the Team Status page. All teams must check in even if they have submitted all requisite paperwork!

Hello everyone!
It’s hard to believe, but first pull is happening in less than 17 days! Here are the super important items you need to know at this point:
-1) All teams will need to show their medical authorization forms at check in on Saturday. That being said, it’s highly preferred if each team could scan their med forms and email them to Josh (jseamon@gmail.com) before the event.
0) All teams can track tasks on the Team Status page.
1) All teams that confirmed that confirmed their housing requests using the online form a couple weeks ago should receive their housing information from housing coordinator Megan (mrzinn88@gmail.com) in the next couple days. If you don’t receive your housing information by Thursday evening, please email Megan.
2) The following teams are not yet cleared to play and are at serious risk of being dropped from the event with no refund given:
All three of these teams need to email Josh (jseamon@gmail.com) immediately and let him know when you project your paperwork will be complete.
3) The following teams are provisionally cleared to play. Each of the listed items need to be competed ASAP.
4) Some teams have yet to submit their dinner fees. Please get your checks in the mail ASAP!
Checks should be made out to “Ultimate Good” and sent to Josh Seamon, PVI2017 Dinner, 3 Payson Ave #1, Easthampton, MA 01027.
