What to know
Yes. The PGKC Spring Bling level pages for 7U Open and 12U AA, checked 2026-10-25, call Perfect Game's lodging policy required, at 8 minimum room nights to be compliant. Perfect Game's Lodging Policy page says teams more than 100 miles from the host venue must book through EventConnect or pay a Hotel Waiver Fee. 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.
Games may also be played at the 3&2 Baseball Club West Complex in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, which Perfect Game's location list shows for this event, so not every game is necessarily at the East Complex. Our drive times start from the East Complex.
Eight room nights is four rooms for the two nights from Friday to Sunday. The policy page's own table lists 16 room nights for a 3-day event, so ask Perfect Game which number applies to your team before you book. Springhill Suites is the nearest hotel on our list, 3 minutes from the East Complex.
