Stay to Play
Stay to Play is a policy that requires all teams and attendees to book their hotel rooms through EM2 Housing in order to compete in the tournament. The housing department 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 EM2 Housing, you not only get the best deal on a hotel room, but you also help lower the costs of tournament fees for everyone.
The Housing department continually runs rate integrity checks during the tournament dates to ensure that the contracted hotels are meeting their obligation to provide the lowest group rate on the rooms specifically available in Advanced Event Systems (excluding employee/government/AAA/AARP rates and prepaid booking).
EM2 Housing is willing to work with most hotels in the city. The primary reasons that a hotel would not be available are:
- The hotel did not submit a bid to the Convention & Visitor's Bureau.
- The bid that was submitted had a rate that was too high for the hotel's product or location.
- The hotel safety standards/location did not meet the expectations of LSC. For example, exterior corridor hotels (meaning that access to rooms was from the outside and not through an interior lobby and/or hall).
- The hotel was unable to offer the room types that teams need (double-bedded rooms or king with sofa sleeper rooms).
- The hotel would not agree to the terms in the contract required by EM2 Housing.
Each team is required to book a minimum of 5 rooms with a 2-night minimum stay. These 5 rooms can be made up of team rooms (where players are staying in a room together), coaches' rooms, and/or parents' rooms.
