Early PCTI7 Logistical Answers

Every year, I do my very best to communicate as many specifics as it relates to the upcoming PCTI as possible... Every year, the select group of mis-fits who don't give a damn about my time don't bother using the documented information on the blog and reach out to me with questions.  Losing B. Mac helped (last year he called me three weeks before asking when PCTI was), but with Wes, Stickman (who isn't a mis-fit but doesn't trust what I put out) and notorious F'Up Spotlight, there's no telling how many times I will have to repeat myself.

Now that my rant is over, it's not always bad... The highlight of my PCTI career was when Ben revealed he's brought extra laces every year (it's going to pay off, I promise).

That said, a couple things....

• ARRIVAL DATE: Wednesday, July 6th (anytime).
• DEPARTURE DATE: Sunday, July 10th (anytime).
• GAMES BEGIN Thursday AM and will end on Saturday.
• IF YOU'RE FLYING IN: Any attempt people have made to come in day of has ended up costing them more money and the group stress.  Book your flight back on Sunday.
• IF YOU'RE DRIVING IN: Plan as if games will start at 10:00 am.  I don't see a reason to get up at 4:00 am if you're coming from Nashville, so BC is probably the only one that could rationalize driving in TR morning.  
• ANNUAL DINNER is Saturday night... I know some people are driving and might be tempted to drive back Saturday, but out of respect for the group, don't be that guy.... We do this once a year and talk about it all year long.  Make the most of it.
• AIRPORT OPTIONS (Ranked):
• Cincy.
• Dayton (Southwest fliers--Hour away).
• Lexington (and ride with BC, about 1.5 hours).
• Louisville. 
• FLIGHT BOOKINGS: The best time to book is 54 days out on a Sunday afternoon at 3:00... Otherwise, pick a Tuesday or Wednesday, but don't book yet.  Flights are outrageous and should get cheaper with nothing going on in Cincy the weekend we are there.  
• JERSEYS: Actor is in the process of getting new one's and will have for PCTI7.  
• PAYMENTS: Instead of the traditional routine where we wait until we receive the final bill and everyone has already spent all their money, this year we will begin the requests earlier so you're not getting hit with one lump sum at the end... And the person fronting it isn't stuck either.

Scotty will provide the specifics closer to time, but above will give you some things to think about and work off of.
