2009 VA States is here!!!  I am so excited, since as some of ya'll know I missed Eastern's because of being sick.  I am almost at 100%, and will be by this weekend.

Seeding and Pools are published now:

Girls:
http://www.upa.org/scores/tourn.cgi?div=121&id=5961

Open:
http://www.upa.org/scores/tourn.cgi?div=121&id=6018

I am still tweaking the schedule but here are the highlights(PLEASE READ, because some times have changed slightly):

Saturday:
7:45 - Registration Opens
8:30 - Captains Meeting
9:00 - First Round begins(We needed to push this back 30 minutes to move the schedule along)
5:00 - Dinner and Games(Fun, YTBD)
6:00 - Girls Finals

Sunday:
9:00 - Open B Pool Last Round
10:30 - Championship Bracket & C Bracket start play
2:15 - Open Finals

Dinner will be provided for players on Saturday, and the Concession stand will be open all weekend.

There will be no T-Shirts this year, but we have 2 times the amount of State Discs we had last year, because we sold out early on Saturday.  Remind your players not to wait until the last moment to get a disc, because they might be gone.

I think that is it for now.

Ray

Alright,

        It is less than 2 weeks away.  Brackets, and the schedule will be published on Monday.  With that said, I can't do brackets without knowing all the teams that are coming. Below are the teams I have confirmed as coming.  If you aren't on this list and are bringing a team, e-mail me ASAP.  If I don't here from you by Friday, you will not be included in the schedule.  Also, please send me School name, and City, as you would like it displayed on the T-shirts if I pull them off(Even if you think I should know it for your school).

Open:
LCB A
LCB B
Woodside A
Woodside B
YHB A
YHB B/C
Woodson
Maggie Walker
Girls:
LCB
Woodside A
Woodside B
YHB A
YHB B
YHB C
Woodson

Fees Reminder:
Tournament Fees:
$120 per 1st team, $80 per team for every team after that from the same school.  Checks made payable to Ray Heath.
UPA Fees:
If by the Friday May 14th, the player is showing as not paying UPA dues, They MUST pay me on Saturday morning, with a signed waiver form in order to play.  I will not accept one check for a whole team for UPA dues, because that was a paperwork nightmare last year.  I need the money per player, paper clipped/attached to a waiver, to make sure the UPA gets it in a form they can use.  Checks made Payable to UPA.

Thanks,
Ray

Hello Everybody,
It’s that time...and boy its coming quick. Let’s get down to business.

Open:
Woodside A
Woodside B
LCB A
LCB B
YHB A
YHB B
YHB C (I know we are doing some funny stuff Dave…we will get that straight later)
WUT
Monacan

Girls:

YHB B
Woodside A
Woodside B
WUT
LCB

The tournament is still May 16/17, at LCB. Girls will only be playing on Saturday May 16, Final under the lights, on the main field Saturday Evening. I have no issues with them picking up with their perspective B-Team's on Sunday, at the coaches discretion. Open will be both days, and we will be playing at LCB, and Salem Middle like the past 2 years(3 Fields at both schools). There will be food(Pizza/Subs) Saturday Evening out at the fields if the temperature permits, while watching the girls Final's and Various competitions: Freestyle, Pull, Tree, RPS, and Sprint(I am up for other suggestions, and need people to be in charge of them…Christian?).

School address:
LC Bird High School
10301 Courthouse Rd
Chesterfield VA, 23832
Times:
Registration will begin at 8AM Saturday Morning to allow paperwork to be verified. Captains Meeting at 8:45, at the registration table. One captain from each team is REQUIRED to attend. First game Saturday will be at 9:30.

Rosters:
All players must be registered with the UPA, and you must make an online Roster, on UPA's site. Membership payments and Waiver can be given to me the day of the tournament, but ALL players MUST have a UPA ID, and be added to your Roster, prior to 12 Noon on May 13th. Once you have the Roster, you can submit it to the Tournament, therefore allowing me to verify it, and make sure you are good to go.

Each team is allowed no more than 3 players from another school. That doesn't mean if you have a A-Team and a B-Team that you are allowed to play 4 players from another school on your A-Team. That is 3 players from another school per Roster. If I find out there has been an abuse of this, without previously getting approval from me, your team WILL be disqualified from States. So if you think this is going to be an issue, please contact me ASAP.

There is no $5 event/One time option; ALL players must be UPA members.  I will accept a completed/signed waiver and $20 the day of the tournament, but no group checks for membership fees.  Money must be separated per waiver.  The big group checks were a real hassle last year for the membership fees.  If I cannot verify their status via the Roster on Friday, then I will need the above in order for them to play.  If there needs to be a refund the UPA will handle.

Money:
The cost is $120 for the 1st team from each school, and $80 per additional. Make checks payable to Ray Heath. I MUST have your check/money before the start of play on Saturday you’re your team will not be playing.  I do not want to be hunting anybody down to get their money.  Address to send checks to:

2013 Cambridge Dr
Richmond VA, 23238

Food:
I will be supplying for Each team:
2 Jugs of water
Bananas
Peanut Butter
Bread
The Refreshment stand at the stadium will be open both Saturday and Sunday. Pizza/Sub Party will be supplied Saturday night.

Swag:
State Disc's will be sold at the Refreshment stand for $10 a piece. There will also be shirts, but not sure of the cost/colors yet.
