Some info:
New this year: an Ivy League Championship.
Thusly the pools are arranged as above, with the top two in each pool still advancing to the Yale Cup Championship on Sunday. Whether your team advances depends only on your record in pool play. Ties will be decided by point diff. The cross-over game in the last round on Saturday will help determine seeding for Sunday. The cross-over game between the winners of pools A and B will play (hopefully) later that night under the lights in the Ivy League Championship game.
How seeding works:
The winners of the X1-Y1 cross-over games will earn the top three seeds, with the losers of these games earning the 4-6 seeds heading into Sunday. Then the winners of the X2-Y2 cross-over games will earn 7-9, and the losers of the X2-Y2 games the 10-12 spots. The top four seeds (the winners of the X1-Y1 cross-over games plus the loser of the X1-Y1 games with the best overall record, or if there is a tie then the best point diff) will earn a first-round bye heading into Sunday. The other eight teams will play in pre-quarters on Sunday morning. Similar seeding will work for the Chumpionship Bracket.

From CAMPUS:
Find and go west on Chapel Street (from campus that probably means you'll be taking a right). Continue on Chapel Street until the left lane branches off (after St. Raphael Hospital); take the left branch. Go straight until you see Central Ave. (you'll go through one major intersection), and turn right. Go up a half a block-- you will see stables on your left, and the fields are right beyond them. Park anywhere along Central Ave.
From the NORTH (and NORTHWEST):
FROM MERRITT PARKWAY (either direction)
Take exit 57 or 58-- regardless, you want Route 34 going east toward New Haven. You'll be on Derby Ave, which you take for about five miles. You'll then hit a hill with a group of businesses, including a car dealership and the Tremont Motel. At the bottom of the hill (with a cemetary on your right), make a left at the light. This will be Central Ave. Go up a half a block-- you will see stables on your left, and the fields are right beyond them. Park anywhere along Central Ave.
FROM I-91 SOUTH
Go to the end (in downtown New Haven)-- take exit 1 onto the downtown connector. Then follow the directions from I-95.
From EAST, WEST and SOUTH:
FROM I-95 (either direction)
Take exit 47, the connector into downtown New Haven. Once on the connector, follow the signs for N. Frontage Rd. Keep going on N. Frontage for ~2 miles through some lovely urban wasteland. At the end, you'll hit E.T. Grasso Blvd-- take a right, and then your first left on Derby Ave. Once on Derby, make a right at the second light, Central Ave. (you'll pass Yale Field on your left) The fields are to the left off Central Ave, right past the stables.
From due SOUTH:
Swim.
