Hey folks, the 9th Annual Harborfest 7s is a mere week
away. As promised, the brackets have been drawn up
(tenatively) and are attached to this email. As you
can see, team #10 is in limbo right now as I hear back
from the C side C Men from Dubuque. Should your team
have guys that are itching to play, but you don't have
a ton of room for them, my hunch is we will have a
team comprised of whores so please feel free to bring
as many guys as want to play. I know Northern
Michigan is going to send a couple guys but not enough
for a team.

The captains meeting is at 9 AM. I know rugby time is
usually a half hour to an hour later, but we really
will be having our captains meeting at 9 AM. To those
who like to arrive late, maybe just tell yourself the
captains meeting is at 8:30 and then you can
fashionably show up "late" and actually be on time at
9. The first match will begin promptly at 9:30. As
you can see, I took into account geography and the
Milwaukee/Parkside/Kenosha based teams play first.
For teams that don't play right away, it's OK if your
team isn't all there during the captains meeting, but
you do need at least one team representative at the
captains meeting.

To receive the free entry in Harborfest for you and a
guest, along with the free food and drink tickets, you
will need to fill out a roster form we will be handing
out at the captains meeting. When you actually try to
get into Harborfest, you will need a photo ID to prove
who you are so no need to write down fake names to try
to get more tickets or gain admission. It's not wise
to try to scam more tickets then you are entitled to
as this will sour our tournament's relationship as a
whole with Harborfest if we are blamed and we could
potentially lose this perk if we, or any team at our
tournament, abuse it.

The plan of action for the day is captains meeting at
9:00, first match at 9:30, playoffs for consolation
and championship bracket begin at 3:45 with the
tournament concluding sometime after 5:00. There will
be concessions sold all day and during the
championship match, a free grillout will commence. We
have a very limited amount of unique Harborfest 7s
t-shirts available so I'd get them early. We will
also be selling Parkside Rugby jerseys, past
Harborfest t-shirts, and other rugby related
merchandise.

For those who remember past year, the Racine
Lighthouse Run was always that same weekend as
Harborfest which sometimes meant having to turn on a
couple sidestreets to get there on time. Luckily this
year, the Lighthouse Run is run today so there will be
no conflict with athletic events next year. Please
leave enough time to get to the pitch on time.

After the cookout has concluded, most of us make our
way to Harborfest and after Harborfest ends, we will
be heading to our team bar, Murphy's, on Sheridan Rd.
in Kenosha. For those who are traveling from afar,
please make arrangements with hotels and if you need
taxis, Kenosha has them.

That's all for now. Should you have any questions,
please feel free to call or email me. Thanks!
