Dear Coach/Manager:

IMPORTANT BIT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ!

WELCOME TO THE 29TH BLUEGRASS INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT!

1. We have received many requests for (a) late Saturday starts and (b) consideration for those teams who have coaches involved with more then one team. While we can understand that people may not want to incur the cost of hotel rooms for two nights, we just don't have the capability to schedule the tournament based on that particular constraint. When you consider that one of the teams who asked for a late start lives less then 30 minutes from Lexington, youwill understand the number of requests we received. Over 40 teams playing in the BIT share coaches. We did our absolute best to accommodate all of you, but as hard as we tried, it was impossible to be perfect. We hope you'll recognize and appreciate our effort.

2. Please read our rules for the length of games, special rules for U9's, protests, etc.

3. Please remember to leave your dogs at home. They are not permitted at any of our venues.

4. Our team check-in does not take place on Friday night. Instead, we ask you to come to the Headquarters tent at the site of your first game and to get there about an hour ahead of time.

Teams playing at Masterson Station on Fields 1-7 check in at the HQ tent right behind the concession stand (cement block building). We will only have the paperwork for teams playing on those fields, so please check the site of your first match carefully.
Teams playing on Masterson Station Fields 97-99, 8-11, 12-17, and 21-23 check in at the back of the fields. The HQ tent sits up on a hill and is very visible.
Teams playing at Berea Road (BR 1a. 1b, 2, 3, 4, and 5) will go there to check in if their first games are on any of those fields.
Lastly, we have one field, MS A2, which is at the front of the Masterson fields on the left as you come in to the park. There is a parking area there, which must be used. There are two fields lined up in a straight line, and we have the use of the second one. YOU MAY NOT DRIVE TO THAT FIELD! You will be able to check your team in at the field. Look for the Field Marshal in the gold vest.
Please have the following available when you check in:

Copy of Roster
Player Cards
Notarized Medical Releases
Birth Certificates
Travel Permit
Guest Player Form (if applicable)

Thank you for coming to the Bluegrass Invitational Tournament. We look forward to seeing all of you.

Yours in Soccer,
