Here’s the second draft of divisions along with initial rankings.

Please let me know ASAP if you see anything that looks off. If you have a suggested edit, please send in as much justification as you can. Suggested edits will be accepted until Saturday, 5/11 @ 6pm ET.

Please also keep in mind that rankings will most likely be tweaked a little bit to spread teams out geographically between pools, once the schedule is generated. So, it’s important that your team is at least pretty much in the right spot in terms of ranking. Minute ranking changes aren’t super important in the grand scheme of the event.

FM = Female-Matching, O = Open

Here is the 1st DRAFT of the divisions. Note that these are not final and the teams are NOT ranked in each division. Ranking drafts will happen later this coming week. This division draft was crafted based on team preferences and RRI numbers currently listed on scorereport.net.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Helpful items to consider as you think things over:

• Have you added ALL of your game scores to scorereport.net?
• If you think your team should be in a different division, which team(s) do you think you should swap with?

F-M = Female-Matching, O = Open

Here is the current list of teams (below) that are missing at least one major item and are therefore not cleared to play. Please look at your row of the team status spreadsheet to find out what you need to complete.

Housing payments are due by tomorrow, 5/1. Info on how to pay is online here. If your $50 payment ($52 if you use PayPal) doesn’t arrive by tomorrow, your team will not receive housing.

Please keep adding all of your scores to: scorereport.net. Please.

I hope to draft the first draft of the game schedule in the next 5-7 days. Here’s what’s likely at the moment: Female-Matching A (8 teams), Female-Matching B (12 teams), Open A (16 teams), Open B (16 teams), Open B (14 teams). No crossovers between divisions. There is a *small* chance that 2-6 teams *may* only have 5 games. No team will have more than 6 games.

Team currently not cleared to play:

Hello everyone,

First pull will be in less than 22 days!

In the coming two weeks you will receive the draft tournament schedule as well as LOTS more information. We do not predict many changes to scheduling/logistics from last year, so if you want to get a good idea of how things will be structured this year, check out the PVI2023 schedule.

Big things to do now:

• Please look over your team’s line on the Team Status spreadsheet and take care of missing items… immediately. One very important item: I am not exaggerating when I say that if your roster doesn’t have at least a chaperone added in the next 5-7 days, there is a very real chance your team will not be able to compete. The teams listed below are missing at least one item and are currently not cleared to play.
• Please make sure all of your game scores are reported into ScoreReporter. Open Team here. Female-Matching teams here. Anyone can add teams and scores to the system. The more data that’s in this system the better. It’s a massive help in ranking teams as accurately as possible coming into the event.
• Housing fees ($50 per team) are due in Easthampton by 5/1. This is a very firm deadline. If we don’t receive your team’s payment by then, your team will not be provided housing. Information on how to make a payment is online here.

I am here to help. Please do not put off completing all of the required tasks.
