Wow.

What a day indeed! Here’s where things stand:

Some photos from today are online here and here.

The full schedule is online here. Please look it over in detail and make sure you know where to be when. Send questions in ASAP if you have any.

The Falmouth B boys are running low on numbers and are looking for some pickup players. Anyone from another team is welcome to join them for some or all of their games tomorrow which will take place at 9:30, 12:30, 2:00, and 3:30pm. If you’re interested in picking up with them, please email their coach James Whiting at whitingjamesf@gmail.com.

A pickup game for family and friends of players was called for… so we’re going to schedule two of them! The first one will take place from 8-9am on Field 14 and the second from 12:30 to 1:30 on field 5. Anyone is free to come on out and play… players too if you’d like! Bring a dark and a light and have some fun!

Please make sure you turn in your Sunday spirit score sheet to tournament central immediately after your last game is done tomorrow. Please make sure you:

• Fully identify your team

What a day! Thanks for playing so hard, and with so much spirit!

Complete results from Saturday, along where everyone is playing their first Sunday am game, are online in the schedule spreadsheet. Please make sure you look it over in detail and let us know ASAP if you have any questions.

Preliminary spirit score data for Saturday is now online: Girls, Boys. Full spirit score data will go out later tonight.

Miss out on getting exactly the tourney gear item you wanted? VC just launched an online store for PVI gear! A few notes:

• Code to get free shipping – customers can add any other VC gear in to their cart and have it shipped for free, too – anywhere in the US! “PVIFreeShip”
• Store open until next Sunday, May 26th
• Also, from Adriana @ VC: “If teams want to order up printed gear (the dark tanks, jerseys, cotton hoodies or something like that), we can process them like team orders, but have them drop me an email (adriana@vcultimate.com). Min 12 units.”

One note for tomorrow: PLEASE write out FULL team names on your spirit scoresheets, especially for your opponents. We have to enter thousands of data points and it’s a big slow down if we have to look up opponents.

Together, we can strive to create space for all voices in the ultimate community. When all voices feel heard and valued, our community will feel like home to anyone and everyone.

The big thing: Know the tournament schedule and program! Know where your team needs to be at what time. Understand how the schedule works. Understand how the event works.

Some important items:

1. Be careful on Island Road. Drive slow. Only park at the fields. Minimize trips to and from the fields.
2. Please know the schedule.
3. Please know the program.
4. Start and cap your games on time.
   1. No softcaps
   2. 1 horn = game start
   3. 2 horn blasts = hard cap
   4. Text in your scores to Karin at 617-797-5627.
5. All games must be played except the Saturday crossover games. Crossover games can be skipped if BOTH teams agree AND they get permission from Josh.
6. Please set alarms on your phones for hard cap. We’ll do our best to cover the fields with horns, but it’s a big place…
7. No dangerous plays, spiking, poor language, or bad behavior. At all. Just don’t. I will eject your entire team.
8. Bring full water bottle each day. We’ll have water towers all over the place, but anything you can do to help would be appreciated.
9. Saturday night social @ NHS: Fun, bring your dinner tickets!
10. Even if you’re not going to have dinner at the social event at NHS, come on by! It’s going to be lots of fun.
11. Weather: 5 horn blasts = get to your cars, wait for call/5 horn blasts. Text/@PVInvite/Email will be sent out with updates.
12. Keep sidelines clear. Nothing, at all, within 3 feet of any sideline. All hard objects — tents, chairs, must be at least 7 yards from any sideline. That means most chairs and tents will need to be out the back of endzones.
13. This year, we are banning all disposable plastic water bottles, Gatorade bottles, and single-serve cups. This is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) event.
14. Opponent late? Assess a point for every 3 minutes they are late.

17. In order to get your $100 check back, you must report all of your game and spirit scores and return your team box.
18. Please drive carefully on Island road! 15mph at the most!
19. Thank you sponsors: VC, Walmart, Henshaw Farms, Spikeball, KanJam, Friction Gloves, The Black Sheep, Hucket Bucket, Northampton HS Athletics, and most importantly the Oxbow Marina.
20. Please make sure you promptly report your game and spirit scores after each round to Karin at 617-797-5627.

Food provided at the tournament contains peanuts and other common allergens.

If anyone in your group has food allergies, please notify us in advance so that we can make requested accommodations for team boxes. Contact Christine at cmgandrews@gmail.com.

We will set aside food items that will be accessible to players who are avoiding cross-contamination with peanuts away from tourney central.

We’ll also have hand-washing facilities at this location.
