More information

Captains:
I have decided to do an upper and lower bracket Saturday. The top 2 teams in both upper bracket pools get to sleep late Sunday. Everybody else plays crossover games for placement into an A, B,and C pool. This format will allow for more competitive games on Saturday while still giving an opportunity for the pool play winners in the lower bracket to make the A pool. If you are unhappy in what bracket I placed you for saturday, you can let me know and we will see what we can do.

1) Rules:
NO Dogs, sorry
NO alcohol at the fields (as a side note, no beer sales in RI or Mass. on Sunday)
NO swimming in the pool at the fields
At the party camping site, no fire or fireworks and noise must be kept down.

2) What To Bring:
It has been a tradition for teams to bring canned goods to benefit the RI Community Food Bank. I will collect at the fields. Or, you can write a check, its tax deductible. Please do your part.

Bug Spray - the skeeters are pretty bad both at the fields and camping site

Flashlight/Lantern for Saturday night - there will be limited lighting so you are forewarned

Water containers - I will have 10 gallon igloo containers at every field for teams to fill up out of.

4) Parking at Fields
There is a main lot all can park at. You will see a sign for Wheeler farm on your left on walker street. main and auxilary lots are there. there are also smaller lots closer to the specific fields. Fields 1 and 2 off walker street, there is a lot on the right that can hold like 50 cars. Fields 3, 4,5,6, there is a lot at the fieldhouse...go to the end of walker and take a left and fieldhouse will be on left. Fields 7 and 8 are inside the track which is across from fieldhouse, there is a small lot there.

5) Dinner Saturday night
Bring your appetite. We will have a smorgasbord of delectable delights sure to please the palate including our world-famous chowda soup. Burgers, chicken, hot dogs, salad, potato salad, coleslaw, fruit salad, and who knows what else. We will have some veggy burgers for the vegans as well.

6) Showers
There are showers at the fields to use before going to the party. There are like 3 or 4 outdoor showers next to the swimming pool (off-limits) and showers in the bathroom at the swimming pool and the other bathroom.

7) Camping/Party Saturday Night at Stepping Stone Ranch
Camping is free. It is only available Saturday night. I will have beer (Bass and Sam Adams) but not much else so bring any entertainment/games you want. Bring flashlight/lantern as lighting will be limited. NO FIRES OR FIREWORKS AND KEEP THE NOISE DOWN. You might want to carpool from the fields as its about a 35 minute drive.
