NYKP: 2017 A/B Tournament Day 1

Hi all,

Due to some last minute mishaps and injuries among our members and the visitors, we are not likely to have an A section this weekend. But we are still committed to hold a B/Mixed tournament for all who signed up and show up. L
We will make team adjustments on site, by original schedule.
Food and snacks will be provided.
Bring your high spirit and let’s paddle!

See you tomorrow at 3pm.

Darren and Laura

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE A/B TOURNAMENT!

The A/B tournament was designed as a two-day tournament to offer a higher level of game play, with A and B level teams from NYKP, Montreal, Boston, and others. However, fewer teams are currently registered then originally anticipated. There do not appear to be enough for a full A division, although some A-level games will be organized.

If you’ve been busy organizing a team and still wish to play together, please input your names in the attached spreadsheet. All other players will be assigned to teams the day of play. You are welcome to play for just one or both days. Efforts will be made to place people playing both days on the same team for the full weekend.

GENERAL SATURDAY SCHEDULE:

Setup at 3pm – please come and lend a hand. Game to start at 4pm, earlier if we are ready to play.

We’ll plan to go out to eat afterwards, location to be determined. There will be some snacks provided, but less then a normal tournament so please plan accordingly if you tend to get peckish.
