B Team Tournament Announcement: I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of the season. This email is specific to the B-team. If I forgot anyone please feel free to forward this to them. We have our first tournament this weekend in St. Cloud. I'll include all tournament information below including what to bring and expect. We will have a carpool leaving the high school athletics entrance at 6:45 Saturday morning. If you or your parent can drive/give rides please make that known at the game tomorrow or over Facebook. At the same time if you need a ride please make it known on Facebook or at the game. All players need to be on the fields by 8:00 AM Saturday morning. Tournament Play: Many of you have not had the pleasure of playing in an ultimate tournament yet. The day is very long and you need to be prepared for it. We will play 5 games on Saturday. It's a great thing to see and a lot of fun. In order for you to personally have a good day it is important that you are prepared. Be sure to start hydrating immediately if you haven't done so. More importantly be ready for all types of weather. What to bring: Rain Gear Cleats Both Jerseys (black and white) Water bottle (they will have places to refill your bottle so no need to create extra waste) Food (usually snack type food that you can grab and eat by the handful, clif bars, trail mix, cereal all ideas) Sun Screen Money for lunch if you want it Extra layers in case it is cold or windy (comfort is of the utmost importance) Extra Socks Tournament specifics and schedule: Right now the current schedule that is as follows: 8:00 AM - Captains Meeting 8:30 AM - First Pool Play Game 10:00 AM - Second Pool Play Game 11:30 AM - Third Pool Play Game 12:30 PM - Lunch Break 1:30 PM - First Bracket Play Game 3:00 PM - Second Bracket Play Game 4:30 PM - Third Bracket Play Game As of right now all teams are guaranteed 5 games with one bye round in the pool play. This is the current game structure I have set up: - Games are 60 minutes with no soft cap and hard cap at 55 minutes. - Games are to 13 points with half at 7. - Each team has 1 timeout per half, no floater timeouts. - We will be playing under the current edition of the rule book. - There will be 30 minutes between games for you to report to your field and prepare for the next game. If you are late to the start time of your game the other team will be allowed to take penalty points for delay of game if they chose to. Every 4 minutes = 1 point awarded to the team ready and at the field. - There will be a 60 minute lunch break from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM with games starting directly after the break. The location of the fields are at Sartell High School (Sartell High School 7th St N Sartell, MN 56377). Also there will NOT be food provided at this tournament so please either bring food or plan out where you are going to go for lunch and how to get there prior to the lunch break. There is a Coborn’s Grocery located at the end of 7th St N and is about .5 miles away from the tournament location. Otherwise there is an A&W Burger and Subway both located on 2nd St S about 1.5 miles away from the tournament location. The current seeding is as follows: 1. Green Lantern JV 2. Griffin JV 3. Whitebear Lake B 4. Pluto C 5. Green Lantern 9/10 6. Charter Stars JV 7. Raging Safari JV 8. Revolution JV 9. Wrenchbeaters JV 10. Wayzata JV 11. Maul JV 12. Pluto D With that current seeding the pools will look like such: A: 1. Edina JV 2. Revolution JV 3. Wrenchbeaters B: 1. Griffin JV 2. Raging Safari 3. Wayzata C: 1. Whitebear Lake B 2. Charter Stars JV 3. Maul JV D: 1. Pluto C 2. Green Lantern 9/10 3. Pluto D Getting a Ride: If you need a ride to the tournament you will need to work that out with another player. We will take some time tomorrow during our game to figure out rides. Know if you can drive and how many people could ride with you. If you need a ride be ready to speak up and find one. Our plan will be to meet at the tournament location with the exception of those people who will be providing rides for other players. Those players will need to work out the specifics during practice or exchange contact information to figure it out at a later time. Really looking forward to the tournament. Ultimate players are great people to hang out with and it's really fun to see the respect between players and teams at these tournaments. Let's have a great week and an even better weekend. Be ready for the day make sure you prepare ahead of time. If you have any questions let me know. Thanks, Coach Allen Coach Marty
