    HOTELS

    Our Hotel Policies:

    Simply stated, if your team is traveling 75 miles or more to the event’s destination city, your team MUST stay at one of the approved tournament partner hotels. Teams are required to designate a representative to block off rooms for their team through OUR hotel portal and/or staff. We do not have a full “stay to play” policy but we do require 75% of your families/coaches to stay with one of our partner hotels through our website. 

    Couple of important notes:

    1. We do have a waiver policy, if teams do NOT want to book through us but want to participate in our events. Those teams will pay a waiver of $750.00 per team, in addition to their registration fee. The waiver fee will be added to your invoice once requested.
    2. Prior to schedule release, if teams are not in compliance according to our hotel policies, they can stay in the event if the waiver is paid in full or they will not be scheduled for the event.
    3. For more details on our hotel policies and to stay in compliance, please click here.
