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.

All teams must have a representative at the captain's meeting, even if they have a first round bye. Please show up on time. Each meeting will start promptly.

The captain's meeting will last no longer than 5 minutes. I will be emailing out the captain's meeting notes on Thursday afternoon.

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 lots of questions, please join in.
