What to know

Yes. The PG Battle of Black Star, Saturday March 27 to Sunday March 28, 2027 at Black Star Athletic Complex in Kyle, prints "Event Lodging Required" with 8 minimum room nights on both level pages we read (9U AA and 13U AA).

Perfect Game's lodging policy page says teams more than 100 miles from the host venue must book through EventConnect or pay the Hotel Waiver Fee. Teams within 100 miles are exempt. For a 2-day event the formula (days - 1) x $200 comes to $200, by our calculation, not a printed figure.

Hampton by Hilton is 6 minutes from the complex and Comfort Suites is 8. The event page lists a daily gate pass at $13.55 per person, so budget for that on top of entry.

The event covers 9U through 13U in AA and Open. Entry was $465 for 9U AA and $525 for 13U AA. The page guarantees 3 games, weather permitting.
