1) Please make sure you report your scores in the UPA's online score reporting database. I will be ranking all of the teams next Monday night based on what has been reported in that system. 2) Your roster MUST be online in UPA's online rostering system and listed in the St. Johnsbury Academy Invitational event. The event will close next Tuesday night, so make sure you get your roster 100% set by then. Only players on your online roster will be allowed to play. If your team is found to be playing with unrostered players your entire team will be immediately disqualified. 3) All team paperwork must be accounted for before games start on Saturday. Complete registration paperwork instructions are online right here. 4) Housing assignments were finalized last night. The housing director (RaeAnn) will be sending out emails connecting teams to their hosts over the next couple days. Direct all housing question to RaeAnn at
. 5) I will be finalizing dinner numbers on Friday night. If you'd like join in on the dinner, please let me know by Friday afternoon. Note: You do not have to have dinner at the Saturday night event to join in the other activities going on that night. 6) This spreadsheet contains info on housing and dinner numbers. Please look it over and let me know if you need something changed.

I've attached the schedule details as they stand now. I'm giving you all of the raw data in an attempt to iron out any details that I have missed. If you see something that doesn't make sense, let me know.
Note: Any bold letter in brackets (Ex: [A]) is a game label. W means "winner" and L means "loser". So, WG v WY means "Winner of game G against winner of game Y."
