Teams outside of 75 miles from address on registration will be required to stay in a partner hotel.  If rooms are needed for teams within 75 miles partner hotels must be utilized.  A minimum of 75% of final rooming list or 8 rooms per team (whichever is higher) is expected at the hotel.  A waiver must be approved and on file prior to the tournament start date exempting the team from any stay to play policies.   
  
Room Types
Hotels have been instructed to honor room types contracted and reserved.  Although every attempt will be made to keep teams together it may not be possible due to location of room types.  If parents / participants wish to change their room type to one not originally contracted, parents / participants can submit a change form.  It is recommended to proceed with booking a room inside the block to guarantee a room then fill out the change form to request a different room type.  Larger families will need to reserve 2 rooms if they are over the maximum persons allowed per room.  Change fees may apply for obtaining preferred room types.

Administration fees will be assessed to the Club / Organization for Team cancellations within 60 days of the Tournament which may include forfeiture of deposits.  

Cancellation / Fees:
If your hotel submitted a cancellation policy it will be noted first under the cancellation section and supersedes Impact Housings standard policy below. 

Teams may cancel up to 60 days prior to the Tournament without penalty.  

Under 60 days – Impact Housing will assess a $150 Administration Fee per team for entire team cancellations (on own accord) within 60 days of tournament.  This is separate from any fees that may be assessed by the Hotel and Tournament Director.  Fees will be billed to the Team Contact and must be paid within 24 hours. If not, Impact will charge each reservation associated with the team a $25 cancellation penalty.  Outstanding fees may affect future tournament participation.

Hotel reserves the right to charge one night’s room and tax to each individual credit card.  This is completely at the hotel’s discretion. 

Individuals within the team may cancel their reservation up to 11 pm Tuesday or 72 hours prior to check in whichever comes first so long as the team block remains above 75% or a minimum of 8 rooms per team whichever is higher of the final rooming list.  A $75 fee will be assessed if the block falls below either.  Cancellations can be made with the hotel directly after the specified due dates imposed by the hotel outlined in the Room Reservation Agreement.  Prior to the specified due dates cancellations can be made using the Team Link in the confirmation email. 
In the event the tournament is cancelled prior to the start date by the Tournament Director then no penalties apply.
