Our Hotel Policies
ALL TRAVELING TEAM MANAGERS/CLUB ADMINISTRATORS MUST REVIEW OUR HOTEL POLICY & RULES PRESENTED BELOW. FAILURE TO KNOW OUR POLICY COULD SUBJECT YOUR TEAM TO NON-ACCEPTANCE OR REMOVAL FROM THE TOURNAMENT
To insure the quality of service provided during a Firecracker Sports event this organization has put in a Hotel Obligation Policy.
WHAT IS A “HOTEL OBLIGATION” TOURNAMENT?
Simply stated, if your team requires hotel accommodations (team traveling 75 miles or more to the event’s destination city) your team MUST stay at one of the approved participating tournament partner hotels. Teams are required to designate a representative to block off rooms for the entire team through our hotel portal or staff. These participating hotels are reviewable by clicking on the “hotel” links on the tournament event page or on the main page of Firecracker Sports. We do not have a full “stay to play” policy but we do require 75% of your team/coaches to stay with one of our partner hotels through our website. Reservations should be made ASAP as the hotels fill up quick.
We do have a waiver policy, if teams do NOT want to book through us, but want to participate in our events. Please see below.
WHY DOES THIS TOURNAMENT HAVE A “HOTEL OBLIGATION?”
We work very hard to keep our costs down and also balance the economic impact a tournament like ours can have towards the communities and programs we serve. The approved hotels on this website assist with both concerns and the following are the benefits to our programs:
We only require 75% of your team to stay with one of our hotels. This allows 25% of your team to use points for their stay at another hotel, use Air BNB or camp sites for their travel preferences.
To make it manageable we have room nights “blocked” for our out-of-town teams from our participating tournament partner hotels.
Because we do not use a Third Party Housing Group and we negotiate large blocks of rooms with the hotels directly, you’ll find a wide variety of best pricing and amenities from our hotels.
Care in selecting location and proximity to our playing field. See our “fields/facilities” tab to find out where your team most likely will be playing so you can lock down hotels near your fields.
All of our tournament hotels have been approved due to their quality and desire to give our guests the best event experience.
Room inventory which is shared with the tournament to ensure that room demands can be met from year to year.
