Hello everyone,

 

This is (hopefully) the last mass email I will send out before this weekend's tournament. Hopefully :)

 

This email covers:

+WEATHER

+TEAM REGISTRATION

+UPDATED SCHEDULES

+TRAINERS

+ROSTERING

+WATER

+ODDS AND ENDS

 

You can find weather reports for this weekend here, here, and here. All three forecasts say about the same thing for both Saturday and Sunday: Highs in the mid 50s with a strong chance of some showers/rain. Unless the weather is MUCH worse than that, our field access will not change. So... plan on playing in wet conditions.

 

Team registration will run on Friday from 6 to 10pm on campus at St. Johnsbury Academy, in Severance, room 19. The purpose of team registration is to give teams a chance to hand off any last-minute paperwork and money and for them to just check in and say hi to the tourney organizers. You can find Severance's exact location, as well as where to park, on this map. It would be nice if someone from each team would check in during registration, but it's not 100% necessary.

 

A few small tweaks had to be made to the schedules. The updated schedules are attached.

 

The trainer that was assigned to the boys field location (Lyndon Institute) on Saturday has had a recent medical emergency that is preventing him from working on Saturday. We are looking for a replacement but there is a chance we won't find one. So, if any boys want/need to get taped up or just see the trainer on Saturday, they will need to do that before games begin on Saturday at the St. Johnsbury Academy Campus. (Where the captains' meeting for everyone will be held.) We do have a trainer for the LI campus on Sunday.

 

If you're missing paperwork, please get it DONE NOW. I will accept paperwork during team registration, but not during the tournament. Do not hand me cash. I will only accept checks. Please make sure that you have a chaperone form on file with the UPA. Please make sure all your players have sent in Liability Waivers to the UPA. Please make sure all your players have paid their UPA dues.

 

There will be water spouts and water towers at each field location that players can use to fill their own water bottles. We will not be providing water jugs to fields. Please make sure your players bring their own water bottles.

 

- Please remember that hosts are only providing floor space to sleep on and bathrooms. Nothing else. All showers MUST be done at St. Johnsbury Academy. Teams are responsible for arranging their own breakfasts and lunches. Teams will get large team boxes and there will be a PB&J station.

- Make sure you bring some kind of gift for your host.
