Good morning everyone!

All team chaperones need to join the event Remind group by texting @pvi2025 to the number 81010. We will be using this group to send out important updates during the event. Only Josh can post to the group. Note that you don’t need the remind app to join. (You can leave the channel any time by texting @leave @pvi2025 to the number 81010.)

We are keeping a close eye on the weather. While there is some chance of rain, it’s looking like it won’t be too hot and we could get some clouds, which is awesome. If we need to clear the fields due to weather, horn blasts and texts/emails will be used. Go back to cars. Stay there until you get a followup message.

Nothing that would be unsafe for a person to fall onto may be within 7 yards of any sideline. Yes, this means that there may not be space on some sidelines for items like tents, chairs, and coolers. All tents MUST be staked down.

These teams are currently not cleared to play along with the reason(s) why. If your team is NOT on this list, then it means you are cleared to play. As always, any team can check the status of their tasks/items on the team status spreadsheet. (Click to enlarge the image.)

These teams still have chaperone issues, along with the remaining issues. Please get them sorted immediately. What needs to be done is online here. (Click the image to enlarge.)

These teams have yet to send in their roster. Please send your roster in today using the roster submission form.

The event schedule has been finalized. Please look it over and make sure it makes sense. Let me know ASAP if you have any questions. Please note that all teams must check in before their assigned captains meeting on Saturday morning with both of their chaperones.

Current chaperone issues are listed below. Everything each of your two chaperones needs to do to be cleared is listed on the Paperwork page.

The teams listed below are cleared to play. If your team is not listed below, please immediately check the Team Status spreadsheet to determine what your team is missing.

Chaperone issues as of May 12th @ 10am (Click to enlarge):

Female-Matching teams cleared to play as of May 12th @ 10am:

Open teams cleared to play as of May 12th @ 10am:

Showers will be available from 4-6pm on Saturday at Northampton High School and JFK Middle School.

Every team has an assigned location to shower:

• If you play your last game on Saturday somewhere on fields 1 through 8 you shower at Northampton HS.
• If you play your last game on Saturday somewhere on fields 9 through 19 you shower at JFK Middle School.

A word on parking…

For an event this size, parking needs to be efficient, and it’s not possible for everyone (or even anyone) to park right next to their team’s field. We all need to cooperate on this. Please recognize the goodwill and the efforts of the volunteers who are working hard to make parking for PVI run smoothly, and please follow their requests and directions. We know you might be running a little late and you just want to get to the field to watch your player. We get it. In the spirit of ultimate, please be respectful of the parking coordinators and your fellow parkers, arrive early, and set a good example for your players.

Here are all of the current chaperone issues.

All chaperone requirements are online here.

As always, you can check on what you may need to work on here: Team Status sheet

Here is the second draft of the rankings.

Please open up your RRI page listed below and make sure all of your games are listed. (Also let me know if I pulled the wrong page for your team!) Add in any missing games. (RRI takes about a day to update.)

Feedback will be accepted until 3pm ET on May 8th. Feedback should be emailed to josh@pvinvite.org.

Female-Matching: 8 teams will be in the A division, 12 in the B division.

Open: 16 teams will be in the A division, 16 will be in the B division, and 12 will be in the C division.

There will not be any crossover games between divisions.

I am aiming to create the first draft of the event schedule by this Friday night, 5/9.

All of the teams that are currently cleared to play are listed below.

If your team is not on the list, that means that you have yet to complete at least one of these items:

• Send in all payments (Bid, housing, dinner)
• Have two cleared chaperones
• Submitted a roster

Some of these items are easy to fix quickly: Sending in missing payments, sending in your roster

Some of these items can be much more challenging to fix in a timely manner: Having two cleared chaperones: Chaperone Info Form, Chaperone Requirements

If your team is not on this list, please look over the Team Status sheet, figure out what you’re missing, and… get those items completed.

Let me know ASAP if you have any questions. (josh@pvinvite.org)
