ROOM REQUIREMENTS

Out of town teams will be required to utilize a minimum total of 20 room nights during the tournament (for example 10 rooms per night, for two nights, would result in 20 room nights during the tournament). A complete list of these hotels is posted on the Hotels page to the left.
Tournament fees are based on teams meeting this requirement. Teams failing to meet the minimum number of room nights will be charged a higher tournament rate.

TEAM DEPOSIT

A non-refundable $500 deposit will be charged to your credit card when your registration is accepted. The $500 team deposit is not an extra fee.  If you paid the team deposit, you can apply it to your balance or it can be divided between the families. If the team paid the $500 deposit, it can be returned to the team 30 days after tournament participation (refunds of team deposits paid by credit card are subject to a 5% service fee). Please contact one of our customer service representatives to discuss your options more fully. Should a team cancel its participation from an event, all deposits related to that team's registration will be forfeited.
