STAY, PLAY, AND SAVE POLICY:
The NIKE Syracuse Smash utilizes the “Stay, Play, and Save” policy that was instituted for most Junior National Qualifiers and several other convention center tournaments. Each team registering for the tournament must make its hotel reservations through THS an approved XL Region hotel to be eligible to participate in the tournament. The approved hotel list is generated by XL Region and Book 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, the NIKE Syracuse Smash is able to prove to the host city our 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 than the Special Event Rate, please complete the rate, please feel free to contact THS.
SPECIAL SITUATIONS:
**NOTE: The considerations below do not apply to individual reservations, ONLY a Team or an entire Club.
- 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.
- If you are a local team located less than 50 miles from the playing venue your club is already exempt.
- If you are not in need of hotel rooms, please contact Dan King at Dan@jvctournaments.com or 954-880-4157. Make sure to specify which event!
- If you are seeking a reduction in the required number of nights or an exemption from the Stay, Play and Save policy for reasons such as intention to rent a house, use a time share or some of the athletes are staying with a local family/friends please Dan King at Dan@jvctournaments.com or 954-880-4157
