MVC 2014: Photography and Videography

Once again this year, the official event photographers of Mohawk Valley Cup will be Sean Hale (Hale Yeah), and Walter Romero (Hispanic Attack). The official event videographer will once again be Chuck Campbell.  Only these official folks will be treated as event staff will access to more of the venue. But, with admission we welcome and invite others who wish to take photos or video of the event to do so (anyone wishing to bring in pro-grade equipment)

All photographers and videographers (including assistants, crew, helpers, etc) planning to record images or videos of MVC 2014 should use the link below to download, print, and sign the Photography and Video Release document.

We truly value the amazing folks in the derby community who go above and beyond to create amazing works of art at our events. Please be assured that our intention with this release is not to restrict you, but simply to protect ourselves legally speaking.
That said, if you have any questions about the meaning or intent behind the wording, please email us at mohawkvalleycup@gmail.com and we will do our best to answer ASAP.

MVC 2014: The Afterparty

This year's Mohawk Valley Cup afterparty on Sunday 8/17 will be held at the official tournament hotel, the Wingate By Wyndham.

Its a relatively easy drive from the arena to the hotel, with ample parking
Directions HERE

IMPORTANT:
This is a BYOB event. Well, its actually 'bring your own liquids' in general, including non-alcoholic stuff. Guests of the tournament are encouraged to stop at one of our fine local groceries or specialty stores and stock up on tasty beverages.
We will have some food available, but it will likely go fast. If you plan to take your time getting to the afterparty, you may want to think about grabbing food on the way. There is also made to order options at the hotel bar/restaurant.

For those who enjoy specialty beers, Marcy Discount Beverage is just down the road towards Utica (maybe 12-15 min from venue) and has a vast selection to choose from. They're open Mon-Sat 9-9 and Sun 12-5, so plan accordingly before you make the trip.

If anyone wants to go bigger, McCraith Beverages in Yorkville (~20 min from venue) will sell kegs and rent taps.

Final Teams and Bracket for MVC 2014

We had some last minute changes to MVC, which delayed the final bracket.
Tampa Bay and Rock City both had to drop out of attending MVC this year, and we searched diligently for teams to replace them. In the end, we extended an invite to Jersey Boys Roller Derby to replace Tampa Bay, and the 8th slot will be filled with a mashup team of MRDA skaters, which we are affectionately calling 'The Replacements'.

Jersey Boys Roller Derby are approximately a year old, hailing from Springfield, NJ. They have had a great inaugural season so far, with close wins over CT Death Quads, Harm City Havoc, and The Quadfathers, and are in the midst of the MRDA membership process.

The Replacements are going to be the team to watch MVC weekend. The wildcard for sure. The team is comprised of skaters from the CT Death Quads, Capital City Hooligans, Philadelphia Hooligans, Ottawa Slaughter Squad, and Capital District Trauma Authority (you can also call them the 'Slaughter District Death Hooligans', but we like 'The Replacements' for short). While these guys haven't had time to skate together and work on strategy, they represent a really strong group of skaters from all over and should be a good time to watch.

The new bracket, with the new team changes, is:
