What to know

Yes, for teams traveling more than 100 miles to the Windy City Cup. Teams within 100 miles are local and exempt, per the host's Lodging Policy page.

All four level pages say lodging is required at 32 minimum room nights, booked through EventConnect by the first day of the tournament, unless the team pays the Hotel Waiver Fee. The policy page prints that fee as (days - 1) x $200, and for five days the formula result is $800, not a figure the page prints.
