The big thing: Know the tournament schedule and program! Know where your team needs to be at what time. Understand how the schedule works. Understand how the event works.
Some important items:
- Be careful on Island Road. Drive slow. Only park at the fields. Minimize trips to and from the fields.
- Please know the schedule.
- Please know the program.
- Start and cap your games on time.
- No softcaps
- 1 horn = game start
- 2 horn blasts = hard cap
- Text in your scores to Karin at 617-797-5627.
- All games must be played except the Saturday crossover games. Crossover games can be skipped if BOTH teams agree AND they get permission from Josh.
- Please set alarms on your phones for hard cap. We’ll do our best to cover the fields with horns, but it’s a big place…
- No dangerous plays, spiking, poor language, or bad behavior. At all. Just don’t. I will eject your entire team.
- Bring full water bottle each day. We’ll have water towers all over the place, but anything you can do to help would be appreciated.
- Saturday night social @ NHS: Fun, bring your dinner tickets!
- Even if you’re not going to have dinner at the social event at NHS, come on by! It’s going to be lots of fun.
- Weather: 5 horn blasts = get to your cars, wait for call/5 horn blasts. Text/@PVInvite/Email will be sent out with updates.
- Keep sidelines clear. Nothing, at all, within 3 feet of any sideline. All hard objects — tents, chairs, must be at least 7 yards from any sideline. That means most chairs and tents will need to be out the back of endzones.
- This year, we are banning all disposable plastic water bottles, Gatorade bottles, and single-serve cups. This is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) event.
- Opponent late? Assess a point for every 3 minutes they are late.
- Showers open up tonight at 4:30pm at Northampton HS AND JFK Middle School. Do NOT show up before then. If you are done before 5 today, please go to JFK to showers.
- A chaperone must be with your team at ALL times. You cannot leave your team unattended at any tournament location or event.
- In order to get your $100 check back, you must report all of your game and spirit scores and return your team box.
- Please drive carefully on Island road! 15mph at the most!
- Thank you sponsors: VC, Walmart, Henshaw Farms, Spikeball, KanJam, Friction Gloves, The Black Sheep, Hucket Bucket, Northampton HS Athletics, and most importantly the Oxbow Marina.
- Please make sure you promptly report your game and spirit scores after each round to Karin at 617-797-5627.
