STAY, PLAY, AND SAVE POLICY:

The NIKE First in Show is implementing the "Stay, Play, and Save" policy that has recently been instituted for most Junior National Qualifiers and several other tournaments. Each team registering for the tournament must make its hotel reservations through THS at an approved NIKE First in Show hotel to be eligible to participate in the tournament. The approved hotel list is generated by the NIKE First in Show and THS. Reasons for implementing the Stay, Play, and Save policy are to increase the amount of room nights available to teams and clubs and to help police the rates the hotels are offering. By increasing the amount of room nights actually used for the purpose of attending our events NIKE First in Show is able to prove, to the host city, the positive impact on their local economy, thus building stronger relationships as well as helping to offset facility pricing. All hotel rates within our tournament block include a rebate amount that the tournament uses to offset facility expenses.

THS is and will continue to guarantee the lowest group rates available through continual rate integrity checks (exclusions include single/king bedded rooms, employee rates, government rates, AAA and AARP rates). If you still are unsure, or think you have found a better rate, please feel free to call THS.

FREE ROOMS:

This year, you can earn comp rooms when you book hotels through THS! Parent rooms, so long as the club name/code is given to THS when making the reservation, will also be included in your room total.

For example, if a club has 35 rooms for 2 nights for a total of 70 room-nights at a hotel with a 20:1 comp ratio, that club receives 3 free room-nights at that hotel! If you have any problems during the hotel registration process, please contact AJ Joseph immediately at AJ@jvctournaments.com or 719-201-7323.

IMPORTANT: For this event, bookings at Headquarters hotels or pre-determined downtown staff locations will not be included in comp room earnings.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS:

**NOTE: The considerations below do not apply to individual reservations, ONLY a Team or an entire Club.

1. Does your team/club already have a signed hotel contract? Please email THS a copy of your Hotel contract and what your needs are. We will try and incorporate those rooms into our approved hotel list.
2. If you are a local team, not in need of hotel rooms, please contact AJ Joseph at AJ@jvctournaments.com or 719-201-7323. Make sure to specify which event!
3. If your team intends to rent a house, use a time share or stay with local family/friends, please contact AJ as well.
