0. RAIN OR SHINE WE PLAY.  The fields are a little rough to begin with,
and they don't seem to care if we trash them by playing on them when
they're wet.

1. Captain's meeting 9 am
   First round 9:30
   Party 4:30 - 5:00 pm start until whenever
no one has any bye rounds if all teams show and no new ones form
if we have an odd number of teams, some teams may have a bye round
as always, I'll do my best to let people know as early as possible if
they have a first round bye

2. Bathrooms: they're a hike, and they're over the hill by field 7. 
Don't use the bathrooms inside the museum or we'll get in trouble.  The
bathrooms we use are in their own little building.

2B.  Parking.  We're only allowed to Park in the lot near Swamp Road,
although there are a few other lots.  I'll put up signs (likely on
Orange posterboard (note to self: get posterboard :) ) so we don't have
to pay for a guard to direct traffic ($$$$).  It's a courtesy thing, so
let's all park in the right spot!  Same as at other tourneys at this
spot, people who've been there before.

3. Let me know if you know your team is up for one day or two days.  If
you don't know or aren't sure, that's ok, tell me that.  I know that
Hoover, Lafayette, Fordham (short sunday), Eastern and the 'Muses are up
for two days.  We'll figure out what's what at the party, but it looks
like there will be enough opponents for each team that wants to play a
second day to have 2 - 3 games on Sun.

4. Pools: Right now it looks like there will be a 5 team A division,
and  7 team B division.  Each team in A plays at least 3 of the other
teams in 4 rounds.   There is crossover play for 3 A and 3 B teams in
the current schedule.  A division is RTS, Hoover, 'Muses, Spare Tire, El
Nino.  B division is everyone else. :)  I'll try to have some alternate
schedules made up in case the PADA Leaguers come in 2 teams, or another
A division team surfaces, or in case an A or B or both drop at the last
minute.

5. Rounds: it's late in the season, and it gets dark early.  4 rounds. 
With 5 in A pool, it is tempting to go 5 rounds for a full round robin,
but I don't think that that is the best idea.  As long as we have an
even number of teams, there won't be any byes rounds.

6. Fields: I'll be bringing trashbags.  Please police your field when
you are done your last round.  If it's the 4th round, please grab the
cones, too! :)  THIS WILL REALLY HELP ME OUT A LOT!  People were awesome
about that in the Spring, which was very very cool and helped encourage
me to run this tourney!

7. NO BOOZE at the Tileworks.  It's the same facility we use for the
PADA charity Mikey Spring Thing, and the Spring RTS tourney(s?), and the
same County we have used for Mom's Day.  No other illegal substances
either. . . they tend to haul people right down the road to the pokey
for that.  Conservative town. . .

8.  BEER: You must be 21 in the state of Pennsylvania to drink alcohol. 
If you're under 21, don't drink.  I think that that mainly applies to
college teams, but please tell your players and act accordingly.

8.A.  FOOD: If by some odd reason your team gets to the party before
everyone else, don't take THIRDS before others have gotten FIRSTS. :) 
There should be plenty of food for everyone, but our caterer tells us it
was beyond her experience to see people coming back for 4ths (women) or
6ths (men!) :) Her name is Peggy, and she'll be up front with the food. 
Say hi to her.  She works with Boger, and puts out a nice spread.

9. SHOWERS: There will be showers available at the party.  Bring soap,
shampoo, and towels, as well as a change of clothes.

12.  Trophies

Let me know if you're interested in trophies.  This is my 3rd tourney,
and I have always made something, but time's a little tight this time. 
You can see last year's trophies at
http://www.canniff.net/rts/tourney.html  

The women loved them, esp. the Spirit trophy, which didn't come out in
the photos (Ken doll hacked in half by my friend Mary, inserted into the
appropriate spot in a horse doll, with a gold juice lid for a disc).  I
think Rochester won it, and they were psyched.  Shrug. :)
