5/4 Update

You’re doing a great job getting your paperwork done! Keep it up!

Here are some very important points:

0) All games for all divisions will take place at the Oxbow fields.

1) The absolute deadline for modifying your roster is noon on Wednesday, 5/14. Please make sure your roster is 100% complete by then. Remove any players that aren’t coming. Make sure everyone has signed their online waiver and paid their USAU dues. Make sure all chaperones have been added.

2) Please make sure you get your paperwork done, especially adding an NCSI background checked chaperone to your roster. You absolutely cannot play unless you have one of these on your roster. Keep in mind that one person can’t be the NCSI background checked chaperone for more than one team, and that the background check can take up to 14 days to clear.

3) Housing assignments will start going out early this week. The following teams still need to fill out the Dinner & Housing form. If the form isn’t filled out by midnight tonight (Sunday, 5/4) we will assume your team doesn’t need any housing and will not be purchasing any dinner tickets:

Concord-Carlisle	Girls
John Jay	Open
Longmeadow A	Girls
Longmeadow B	Girls
Northampton JV	Girls
Northampton V	Girls

4) All teams will be able to shower at the JFK Middle School on Saturday night, the location of the dinner/dance. The showers will be open from 5-8pm.

5) The competition schedule will be sent out soon. For planning purposes: The captain’s meeting will be at 8:15am on Saturday. All teams must attend regardless of byes. The awards ceremony will end no later than 5:30pm on Sunday.

The following teams have been cleared to participate! Great work! If your team is not listed, please check out the Team Status sheet to figure out what you’re missing.

Amherst JVB	Open
ARHS JVA	Girls

Attleboro	Open

7 hours…

The paperwork deadline is 7 hours away. A BIG thanks to the following teams for being awesome at getting all of their paperwork completed early:

ARHS JVB	Girls
Attleboro	Open
Cape Elizabeth	Open
Concord-Carlisle B	Open
Falmouth	Girls
Falmouth	Open
North Country	Open

Everyone else: Something is not complete with your paperwork. You can check the status of your paperwork right here. If you’re going to have trouble meeting today’s 3pm deadline and you haven’t emailed me already, please do so right now.

Some easy things some of you need to do:
1) Fill out the Dinner & Housing Form. ALL teams need to fill this out regardless of your need for meals or housing.
2) Make sure you add players to your event roster. I think some of you have your players just listed on your team roster. They need to also be specifically added to the PVI2014 event roster.
3) Email me scans of your medical authorization forms.

Again, if not for me, do it for the puppies:

30 hours until the paperwork deadline

30 hours remain until the paperwork deadline.

I just updated the master Team Status sheet.

Please get your paperwork done. If not for me, for all these sad puppies:

Help these puppies become happy. Get your paperwork done.

Berkshires boys looking for a few players

The Berkshires, an open club team, is looking for 4-6 pickup players. If you’re interested in picking up with their team, please email me at josh@pvinvite.org by Friday, 5/2.

Anyone who picks up with the team will get free access to dinner and if you’re not a full USAU member, the tournament committee will pay your one-time event fee.

Viewing the team status sheet

I just fixed a permissions issue on the team status sheet. You can always view the sheet embedded on the Team Status page. Additionally, you can view the sheet directly right here:

Remember, the 5/2 deadline is fast approaching!

Columbia girls team looking for players

The Columbia girls team is running low on players and without a few more won’t be able to attend. If you’re a HS girl and would like to join their team for the weekend, please email me at josh@pvinvite.org. By joining the team you’ll get to play with a fantastic team in 6+ games against teams from all over New England, and join in on an epic Saturday night dinner and dance.

As an added bonus you’ll get free access to dinner, and if you’re not a USAU member, we (the tournament organizing committee) will reimburse you for the USAU one time event fee.

If interested, please email me by Friday, 5/2 @ 3pm.

4/27 Update

Progress is being made with regards to team paperwork (#FALMOUTHROCKS), but lots of teams have a bunch of work to do before the 5/2 paperwork deadline. The process really, truly isn’t that hard as long as you do not wait until the last minute. Bad things, like being dropped from the event, can happen if you wait until the last minute.

Also, please make sure you also fill out the Dinner & Housing form by the 5/2 deadline. ALL teams need to fill out the form (once for each team) regardless of what your plans are for dinner or housing.

Please let me know ASAP if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. The best way to contact me is via email at josh@pvinvite.org.

A note about water

A note from the water committee:

Of course there will be plenty of water for the players throughout the weekend. However, we do not have easy access to potable water sources and so ask your help in facilitating the “flow” of refilling water bottles. Each player should bring a labeled (name of team and player) water bottle. Please come each morning with a full bottle of water.

On Saturday morning each team will be given a 5-gallon jug of water. Please make sure to refill your jugs before your games on Sunday.

At registration, we will ask for a $5 deposit for the five gallon water bottle to be returned on Sunday upon receipt of the bottle. Thank you.
