What to know
Yes. Both PGKC Royals Rumble level pages we read (7U Open and 12U AA), checked 2026-10-25, say the Perfect Game lodging policy is required with 8 minimum room nights. Teams more than 100 miles from the field must book through EventConnect or pay the Hotel Waiver Fee, per Perfect Game's policy page. Teams within 100 miles are exempt. By our calculation from the (days - 1) x $200 formula, a three-day event comes to $400, which is not a printed figure. The policy page's own table lists 16 room nights for a 3-day event, while the level pages print 8.
Perfect Game's location list also shows the 3&2 Baseball Club West Complex in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, so some Royals Rumble games may not be at the East Complex. Check your assigned field before booking, since our drive times start at the East Complex.
Hyatt Place Kansas City/Lenexa City Center is 4 minutes from the East Complex, and Springhill Suites is 3. Comfort Inn & Suites Shawnee is 7 minutes if the Lenexa hotels fill up.
The Royals Rumble is the second weekend of the PGKC spring run, Friday April 9 to Sunday April 11, 2027, for 7U through 14U. The registration deadline is 4/4/2027. Entry was $200 for 7U Open and $500 for 12U AA, plus a $280 pre-paid gate fee. The page guarantees 3 games.
