    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.

      WEATHER

      As of 5.25.26 10:30AM

      We thank you once again for your patience this weekend. Unfortunately, after speaking with venue operators since our last email, due to more rainfall in the Worcester area over the past hour, many fields in the area are no longer suitable for games later today, keeping in mind the safety and well-being of all involved. With this, we have made the difficult decision to reduce the playoff schedule for later today to championships only, and the top 2 seeds will play for each age group. We truly do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and the updated schedule/brackets can be found under the "Brackets" tab. We want to thank everyone once again for their patience and understanding navigating this unpredictable weather, and we do apologize again for any inconvenience.
