Hello everyone,

I hope you're all as excited as I am about this weekend!

Some final reminders:

There was a small tweak to the girls schedule. The games in the first round of the X pool have been swicthed with the games in the second round of the X pool.

The game schedules are online right here (girls) and right here (open).

Saturday captain's meeting reminder:
Girls Division: St. Johnsbury Academy, 8am
Open A, Open B, Open C: Lyndon Institute, 8am
NEPSUL: Lyndon Institute, 9am

Captains meetings will start at exactly those times. Show up early.

These points are really, really important:
1) Your team will not be allowed to play until you have turned in two chaperone forms on Saturday.
2) No player will be allowed to play unless they are on your online roster, have a waiver on file with the UPA, and have paid their UPA dues. You can pay dues and hand in waivers BEFORE the captain's meeting to the Tournament Director.
3) Teams found playing with unrostered players will be immediately disqualified.

There is some rain in the forecast for this weekend. We will play through just about any weather except lightning.

If you can't be at the event but would like to get constant updates, then keep an eye on the tournament Twitter feed which will be updated constantly throughout the weekend.

Cya soon!

The game schedules are now online right here (girls) and right here (open).

The captain's meeting handout is online right here.

I just updated the team status sheet. Newton South, Northfield Mount Hermon Girls, and PVPA Girls still need to create their rosters in the online system. Do this now. Right now.

In order to shave down the time taken at the captain's meeting I will be hosting a pre-tournament captain's meeting conference call at 9pm EST on Thursday, 5/14. The call in number is 605.475.4333 and the access code is 442884. The meeting is not required, but if you have questions, please join in.

Saturday captain's meeting reminder:
Girls Division: St. Johnsbury Academy, 8am

NEPSUL: Lyndon Institute, 9am (The NEPSUL times were changed last night.)

Hello everyone,

+RANKING
The teams have been ranked and placed into pools. Please take a look at the image located right here and let me know by tomorrow (5/12) at 6pm if you have any issues. At that point the pools will be finalized. The complete tournament schedule can be found right here.


+ROSTERS
Please delete all players on your online rosters that are incomplete and not coming.

The following teams have not created a roster in the online database:

Longmeadow B
Newton South
North Country
Northfield Mount Hermon Girls
PVPA Girls

These teams MUST create a roster in the UPA's online rostering database by tomorrow night at 10pm or you will be dropped from the tournament. This step is not hard. Get it done. If you have questions contact me immediately.


+MISSING PAPERWORK
As outlined on the registration paperwork page, all of your players must have a waiver on file with the UPA and have paid their UPA membership fee. Also, each team must send in at least two UPA chaperone forms. If you have missing paperwork at this point, bring it with you to the tournament. If you have just sent in paperwork that has yet to be checked off on your online roster, bring a copy of it with you. If you don't have a copy of the paperwork, get it filled out again. Since the chaperone forms have been overlooked by many teams in the past, all teams must bring a copy of BOTH of their chaperone forms to the captains meeting. We will be collecting these forms.

These points are really, really important:
1) Your team will not be allowed to play until you have turned in two chaperone forms on Saturday.
2) No player will be allowed to play unless they are on your online roster, have a waiver on file with the UPA, and have paid their UPA dues. You can pay dues and hand in waivers BEFORE the captain's meeting to the Tournament Director.
3) Teams found playing with unrostered players will be immediately disqualified.

In order to shave down the time taken at the captain's meeting I will be hosting a pre-tournament captain's meeting conference call at 9pm EST on Thursday, 5/14.
