Dinner, Housing, & Registration Update

+SOCIAL EVENT
The Saturday night social event is shaping up to immensely awesome. There will be tons of great food, multiple carnival-style game stations, a professional DJ, and multiple bouncy castles. The event will take place from 6 to 11pm at JFK Middle School in Northampton.

The event is open to everyone who is playing in the tournament. You do not need to purchase dinner at the event to attend.

We will be serving dinner at the event. Each dinner ticket costs $10 and includes a full dinner along with dessert and drinks.

+HOUSING
We are also excited to announce that we have secured many local hosts for teams attending the tournament! We are hopeful that we will be able to place every team that wants a host with a free place to stay on Friday and/or Saturday night! That being said, teams will be placed on a first-come, first-served basis.

+QUICK, REQUIRED ONLINE FORM – ALL TEAMS
In order for us to provide you with housing and an amazing dinner experience, we need all teams to fill out this very short online dinner & housing information form. Please make sure you fill out the form by Friday, 5/2 @ 3pm. All teams need to fill out this form regardless of if you need dinner or a host.

+REGISTRATION
The registration deadline has been moved to Friday, May 2nd at 3pm. I will be sure to notify everyone as soon as the event goes live in the USAU system, something that should happen any day now. As long as you have USAU ID numbers for your team and a cleared chaperone, the registration process should take about 5 minutes. Please make sure that you are intimately familiar with all the info on the Paperwork page.

There’s still time!

We’ve managed to secure a few more fields, so as long as you get your bid and check in by Monday, 3/24, we’ll most likely be able to find a spot for your team.

3/4 Email Update

The following email was sent out to all teams on Tuesday, 3/4:

********************
Hello everyone,

You are getting this email because your team is somewhere in the process of completing the bid process for the 1st annual Pioneer Valley Invitational.

The Team Status page is now up to date. Please look it over.

Your team fall into one of three categories:

Confirmed = Your bid and check have arrived. Your spot at the event is 100% guaranteed.

Confirmed if check arrives in time = Your bid form has been received, but your check has not arrived. Your spot at the event is NOT guaranteed. Spots will now be confirmed as checks arrive.

Not confirmed = Neither your bid form or check have arrived. Please let me know by this Friday, 3/7 @ 6pm EST if you still plan on submitting a bid. After that time I will drop you from my lists if I have not heard from you.

Note: Confirmation of check receipt will next happen on 3/24. At that point teams will be officially confirmed based on the postage date of their check. The earlier they arrive in Easthampton, the higher the chances we’ll still have a spot for your team.

Let me know if you have any questions.
