An email came out to team reps (thanks sis for forwarding) March 18 about the final info for this weekends Queen Vicki 2012 tournament. The new location and a good amount of turn out makes us really excited.
From the looks of it, the schedule is pretty staggered for all divisions but we are by complaining. Trevor Frasier, the tournament director did an amazing job already putting this together for all of us participating.
Hello Team Reps!Vancouver tournament has always been one of the most fun tournaments to go to. Can't wait to see y'all!!!
Welcome to Queen Vicki 2012 – the tournament is just a week away! Sorry you’re getting this twice – just noticed the bottom of the email was cut off. Please pass along this email to all your team mates – it’s really long, so my apologies. It contains all the info you’ll need to know for the tournament. Pool play schedule will be sent out Monday night and posted online at www.vgva.com
Registration @ Junction Pub
6:30 to 10:00 pm – NAGVA registration – sign your waiver and pay NAGVA player fees (if required); 2 lines will be set-up – an express line for those who don’t need to pay fees and a payment line. Save some time and money, make sure your individual fees are paid online before the tournament – online deadline March 19.
Late Registration and Captain’s Meetings @ Richmond Oval
Players can register at the venue. We encourage as many players to register on Friday night to prevent delays on Saturday morning. Division Pool Play start times will be staggered, so Late Registration will be available at staggered times as well:
7:45 am to 8:10 am – BB Division; followed by the Captain’s Meeting at 8:10 am
9:15 am to 9:40 am – B Division; followed by the Captain’s Meeting at 9:40 am
12:15 pm to 12:40 pm – Modified A/AA Division; followed by the Captain’s Meeting at 12:40 pm
Seeding Party @ Celebrities
9:00 pm to ???? – seeding placements and first round of play will be announced at 9:30 pm at the club and also posted online (vgva.com) at the same time. We’ve got a special prize this year…winners from each Division in Pool Play will win a $100 bar tab at Celebrities! One stipulation, you must have at least 4 members from your team to collect the prize. If not, the prize goes to the next highest team…so be at Celebs to collect your winnings! We thought it would be a good way to get the winners a little ‘impaired’ for the next day ;)
Also we will have our annual ‘WALK-OFF’ Contest – $100 cash prize for the winner; we have some shoes but if you’re a big girl, we suggest you bring your own. It’s an easy contest – just strut your stuff to the music, Top Model style and win some money! Props and costumes are definitely welcomed but not mandatory. One entrant per team.
Post Tournament ‘Chill-lax’ Party @ 1181
Wind down at 1181 after Queen Vicki and celebrate your victories! Just come chill and relax after the tournament…
Richmond Oval Information:
Parking – park under the Oval for $1.00/hour or $10 max/day. Access the lot off River Road at the far end of the Oval. There’re other events at the Oval, so parking could be difficult. There’s overflow parking on River Road if you can’t find a spot under the Oval. I would suggest carpooling to make it easier.
Food – “The Italian Picnic” is the name of the onsite café that has a variety of sandwiches, pasta, salads and treats. They’ll be open all day. There’re also some local restaurants within a 5 min drive of the Oval.
Player’s Lounge – We have a small lounge with table and chairs for players to use to sit and enjoy their lunch. It’ll be just off the court area and will be pointed out Saturday morning.
Court Rule – Please do not take any food or sports drinks onto the courts. Water is allowed on the courts.
Map to Facility – If you require directions to the Oval, we have a map on our website, just scroll to the bottom of the tournament page: http://vgva.com/tournaments/queen-vicki/
Tournament Swag - Due to the increased cost of the new facility and cost of Officials for Sunday, we’re unable to provide any tournament swag – sorry guys! The overwhelming feedback from past years has been to move the tournament to a new venue – so we listened! Also our registration fees have decreased slightly from past years – now just one fee for up to 8 players. I hope nobody is disappointed they won’t be getting a T-shirt.
That’s everything for now. If I missed anything, feel free to email me. We’ll see everyone next weekend!
Cheers,
