Stay to Save Hotels
Stay to Save is a USAV policy that requires all teams and attendees to book their hotel rooms through the tournament specifically in order to compete in the tournament. The housing department of our tournament negotiates discounted rates at the best hotels in the area so that registered participants can attend the event for a low price. By booking a room through the tournament directly, you not only get the best deal on a hotel room, but you also help lower the costs of tournament fees for everyone.
Instructions for Booking a Room:
For 2024, we have partnered with EM2 Housing out of Austin to coordinate our patron hotels and ensure we satisfy the Stay to Save requirement in place by USAV. We currently have over 20 hotels contracted within walking distance of the HBG Convention Center. Priority housing for VIP Clubs will open on September 25th while housing for the general public for ALL teams attending this event will open on October 2nd.
