What is my hotel deposit?

Many hotels require a deposit to secure the booking during an event. This deposit is a portion of the total cost of your stay, and it is included in the advertised rate that you see when making the reservation. Deposits ensure that the hotel has a guarantee, and discourages no-shows or cancellations. Your deposit can vary depending on the tournament you are attending.

​

When you arrive at the hotel, the remaining balance of your room rate should be charged to your credit card, or paid in cash. This remaining balance should be the advertised room rate minus the deposit that you already paid. It is important to note that your hotel deposit can be refunded only before your unique booking cutoff.

What is your refund policy?

If cancelled within 45 days of the event, no refund will be issued.  If cancelled greater than 45 days before an event, a $500 USD cancellation fee applies.

How can I make a schedule request?
