Sunday morning reminders
Selfie time!
Good morning everyone! Here are a few important announcements:
1) Please make sure you report all of your spirit and game scores using this online form. It’s important that you report your information using this form in a timely manner, especially since you’ll also be reporting comments on your opponents’ spirit. Also, in order to make 100% sure we receive spirit scores for every game that’s played, each team will be given a spirit score reporting sheet. Please make sure to turn this sheet in after your last game today.
2) Make sure you stop by the Breakmark tent today! In addition to being able to pickup some free swag for every player (glasses! headphones!) you can join in on the raffle for 20 custom short sleeve sublimated jerseys!
3) Make sure you stay for the awards ceremony, which will happen very soon after the last games are complete (~4:15pm) near tournament central. Trophies and prizes will be awarded in each division for 1st, 2nd, and the spirit winner! We have some GREAT prizes for each award that include trophies, SWAG, and gift certificates!
Tomorrow’s Schedule
Thank you for a phenomenal day of Ultimate! Lots of updates, including photos, have been posted to the tournament Facebook page. If you have photos or videos, please post them to the page as well! We’d love to see them all!
We made it into the local paper this morning! You can check out the article right here or here (PDF).
All of today’s scores (60 in all!) are now online: Girls Divisions, Open Divisions
Please make sure you look over all of your team’s reported scores and let me know if you see any issues (josh@pvinvite.org). Please make sure you know when and where to be tomorrow morning. Most games start at 8am. There is no captain’s meeting tomorrow.
If you haven’t done so already, please make sure you report all of your spirit scores using this form: bit.ly/pvi2014-scores. If you’re not sure if you have for a certain game, go ahead and submit it anyway — I will delete duplicates and keep the most recent entry.
The awards ceremony will occur as soon after the last games have finished as possible. We are hoping they will begin at around 4:15pm. Please stay for the ceremony! It’ll only last 10 minutes and it’s going to be awesome!
See you at the dinner/dance/social!

Everything is on as planned. The captains’ meeting is at 8am. Games start at 8:30am.
One small change since last night: There has been a small shuffle of teams in the Open division. Cumberland is now in the B division and Longmeadow JV is in the A division. Hopkinton is now in a different A division pool (D). You can check out the full schedule right here.
See you very soon!

A few scheduling notes
If you see a difference between a print schedule and the online Scorereport schedules, go by what is shown on the Scorereport schedules — Those are the ones that are most up to date.
Since printing the programs last night, I’ve made a few tweaks — Those changes, listed below, have been made to the Scorereport (Girls, Open) and online PDF versions of the schedule, but alas, I don’t have the ability to modify paper printouts, and I’m not super keen on taping over hundreds of sheets of paper 🙂
1) In the Open division, Cumberland and Cape Elizabeth have switched places.
2) All Sunday Girls B Division games start at 10am.
Also note:
1) Field 9 is not being used for any scheduled games. All other fields are being used for all rounds, except for three fields on Sunday morning from 8-10am. If you’re looking for a place to drill during your byes, please use field 9.
2) I’ve done by best to minimize how much teams have to move, but there was no way around lots of team movement between fields that just has to be done. Given that there is 30 minutes from hard cap to the start of the next round, teams should have a comfortable amount of time to change locations. Please be aware of where you need to be at what times and start (and end!) your games on time.
3) Please keep sidelines as clear as you can. Tents must be at least 5 yards away from any sideline.
5/15 Update
All 1,000 things we can control to pull off this event are coming together quite well. We are SUPER excited to see all of you this weekend! Here’s we stand:
1) Remember that the captains’ meeting is at 8am on Saturday at Tournament Central. All teams must be represented regardless of byes. The meeting is super important and will last 5 minutes or less. Cool, eh?
2) The tournament program is now online (PDF). Please look it over and let me know if you have any questions.
3) Team paperwork is looking quite good. Rosters are by and large looking fantastic. If you still need to make roster modifications/updates, you actually still have time! I got USAU to keep the roster system open until this Sunday. So, go to it and make sure your roster is 100% clean.
4) Remember, your team will not be allowed to play until your dinner ticket payment has been paid. We will accept cash or checks. Checks should be made out to “Ultimate Good”. Here’s what teams owe:
| Amherst JVB | Open | MA | $80.00 |
| Concord-Carlisle | Girls | MA | $120.00 |
| Concord-Carlisle A | Open | MA | $160.00 |
| Concord-Carlisle B | Open | MA | $180.00 |
| Cumberland | Open | ME | $80.00 |
| Cumberland | Girls | ME | $90.00 |
| Falmouth | Girls | ME | $100.00 |
| Falmouth | Open | ME | $200.00 |
| Lexington | Girls | MA | $100.00 |
| Needham A | Girls | MA | $130.00 |
| Needham B | Girls | MA | $100.00 |
| Ottawa | Open | ON | $50.00 |
5) Yes, we are keeping a close eye on the weather. Right now it looks like we’re going to get decently hammered with rain on Friday night, but that the rain should taper off on Saturday morning. Our fields dry out quick, so we’ll be good to go on Saturday. That being said, please plan on dealing with some wet weather. I will let you know immediately if the weather is going to impact game schedules. Right now, everything looks fine.
