First pull is in less than 24 hours!
Please make sure you find me and say hi this weekend. I really, really love connecting with all of you in person!
PLEASE make sure you drive 15mph or slower on Island Road. This is the last road you’re on before you get to the fields. Seriously, please go 15mph or slower. Please.
All teams need to check in when they arrive on Saturday. Check in will be run at the tournament central tent. The whole team doesn’t need to check in, just a captain and a chaperone/coach.
Keep all sidelines clear. Nothing, at all — even players! — within 3 feet of any sideline. All hard objects — tents, chairs, must be at least 7 yards from any sideline. Some sidelines are very narrow. Do not store any gear or items on the narrow sidelines. That means most chairs and tents will need to be on the wider sidelines or out the back of the end zones.
Here’s the Saturday am schedule. Remember, the full event schedule is online here.
| 6:45am: Gates open up at the Oxbow. Please do not show up before 6:45am |

All rosters are done! Yay! That being said, every team should make one last pass over their roster to make sure it’s exactly as it should be. Please remember that only players on your online USAU roster may play in the event on your team.
LOTS of AMAZING tourney gear made my VC Ultimate will be available for sale at the PVI! Get your gear early since it’ll absolutely sell out! Some of the tourney gear is ALREADY available for sale online right here! (Many more items types will be available for sale at the event.)
And now a message from our head trainer, Mieka Davis:
Each team must bring a med kit.
If players anticipate taping they are expected to bring their own tape. We have a limited supply. We are happy to help all players with injury consults and taping but they should know in advance for new teams especially.
Meika’s number is 508-277-4156. Please program it into your cell phone.
See you all soon!
Safe travels!
