Exit 69 - Sunday

Hurtems,

Same time, same place.  Carpools should go smoother this time. :)

Good ideas: put newspaper in your shoes, stretch again, hydrate

For those you who didn't bring enough layers today, I don't care what the weather says for tomorrow: make an adjustment and be better prepared.  Anything can happen.

Exit 69 Details

This weekend is Exit 69, Varsity Tryouts are on.

- Games start at 9am on Saturday, all Hurtems will be at the designated field (13), cleats on at 8am.
- Schedule: http://scores.usaultimate.org/scores/#college-open/tournament/13271
- Meet at Lindbergh Center at 7:15 for carpooling.  If you are a Junior or a Senior please prepare to be a driver if you can.  Braden talked about this tonight after practice.
- We will discuss, re-post the plan for Sunday after Saturday play has completed
- toasty warm!  It looks like it's supposed to rain a bit on Saturday please be prepared for anything and remember that if it is wet and windy, it is usually also cold.
- bring more socks than you can believe are possible, and a big trash bag to put all your belongings in.
- Please bring a black/blue and a white.

Feel free to refer to any of our Kits posts for reference: http://hurtult.blogspot.com/search/label/KITS

Spectators!
- Mr. Krelitz's Food Truck, Uncle Frankie's Food, will be on site.  Our Family will receive a portion of the proceeds along with our tournament hosts, St. Olaf Ultimate.  There will be 30 open teams and 16 women's teams in attendance.
- There will be Breakmark Merch
- Remember that we're going to Maple Plain!  This is the first time this tournament has been in Maple Plain, so please don't go anywhere else.
- I recommend spectators bring a chair, an umbrella, a rain coat (if it's windy, umbrellas don't work), a hat, gloves, a reusable water bottle and extra layers just in case.  It might be a good idea to have some towels in the car (in case Hurtems have to sit in cars during a lightning delay).  Shoes make a difference as well - something water proof and comfy, our field is a substantial distance from HQ.

The Coach Photo Scavenger Hunt will start this weekend as well.  Be ready!

Travel Day: Thursday October 17

The 20th Annual Hold Back the Snow Tournament, hosted by SJR Ultimate will be held in Winnipeg, MB on October 18-19-20, 2013. Important to note: this is MEA  weekend.
This tournament has been expanded to 3 days, for the first time.  To  celebrate the 20th anniversary of HBTS.
  We will be leaving on Thursday October 17th around noon, traveling to Winnipeg in a coach bus, returning very late Sunday night.

YOU MUST HAVE A valid PASSPORT to go on this trip.
BEFORE you sign up you must be 100% certain you have:
All necessary paperwork completed and turned in (returning players paperwork is current), your parents permission, and a valid passport.

    A total of 36 players can compete. This tournament is open to 24 HURTems (players in 10th-11th-12th), 12 HERTettes (no grade restriction) and other players by invitation.  There is a secondary signup for players to use if the 24 guy or 12 girl slots are filled, or you are interested, but not 100% sure you can go.
 FYI...... Previous years cost was approx $200 per player for a 2 day tournament.  On the signup there is a place for parents to sign up too!  We require a minimum, of 4 parent chaperones to attend/ participate, in HBTS.
This is a fun and popular tournament! Sign ups fill quickly! Have a passport?✅ paperwork? ✅ permission? ✅. Go ahead and get on the list!

http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F044BAEAB2BA13-hold1
Deadline: September 26

Debbi

Erin's note: Signing up does not guarantee you a roster spot (because inevitably more people will sign up than we have spots for).  In order to determine the actual roster, factors will be taken into consideration including but not limited to: participation in fundraisers; attendance at practice; seniority; ability to represent Hurt in Canada; availability of parent chaperones etc.  Since practice hasn't even started yet, these criteria are subject to change.
