How many rooms are required to book to be accepted into the event?
Each team registered is required to book a minimum of 7 room per night. These rooms can be made up of team rooms (players staying together), coaches rooms, and / or parent's rooms.
Team room totals are based on each individual team and not on a club basis, so the specific team that you are booking for must be selected when making the reservation. Therefore, if a club is entering 4 teams into the tournament they must book 7 rooms per team, for a minimum of 56 room nights.

How does Montage Sports / Nike Circuit Housing get me the best deal?
Our housing department works hand in hand with the local Sports Commission / Visitors Bureau to negotiate discounted rates to provide our guests with the lowest room rates in the city.
- Montage Sports continuously runs rate checks throughout the contract dates to ensure the hotels are meeting their obligation to provide our guests with the lowest group rate on the rooms, only available through Advanced Event Systems
- *This does not include government rates, AAA, AARP, and employee rates.
- When an event does not negotiate and contract with the local hotels, it gives the hotels an opportunity to collectively increase rates and gauge the overnight guests. To provide affordable rates at local hotels, we have negotiated the lowest rates. To continue and help clubs save on hotel rates, this is why clubs are required to book within our housing block.
- Being able to provide accurate overnight guest numbers for attendance allows us to have greater negotiating power with the Convention Center, increasing our long-term contracting ability for this and other venues in the future. In addition, this allows us to leverage our bargaining power with hotels, thereby keeping your room rates and admission costs low.
There are some hotels that are not within the Housing Block, why is that?
There are a few reasons why a hotel note be a part of our sponsored hotel list, we strive to work with as many properties throughout the city:
- The hotel submitted an unreasonable room rate we did not want to offer our guests
- The hotel was unable to offer room types that teams typically need (Rooms with 2 Beds)
- The hotel did not submit a proposal for rooms
- The hotel did not meet the safety standards that we strive to offer our guests.
- The hotel would not agree to the contract terms required by Montage Sports.

- If you are paying for rooms that your name is not on, or for rooms that you will not be staying in at the hotel, you must submit a credit card authorization form from the hotel. Once you receive your confirmation number, you will need to contact the hotel to provide this form.
- For example, this would be for Club Directors that are paying for coaches rooms.
