What to know
The Encore runs July 16 to 18, 2027, Friday through Sunday, at Mishawaka Fieldhouse, 6155 Veterans Parkway in Mishawaka, IN 46545. Entry is $550 per team with 4 games guaranteed for girls 10U-17U.
The page says teams "can book their hotels through Prep Network's SaveAndPlay" and that teams traveling more than 90+ miles "will be required to book a minimum of 8 reservations for the weekend." Prep Network's housing policy says SaveAndPlay is optional for non-marquee events, with no distance rules.
The Encore is not on the policy's marquee list, so it is rated unclear and both texts are quoted. Check with the contact listed on the host page before you book elsewhere.
Friday to Sunday means 2 nights at the minimum, our calculation. Holiday Inn Mishawaka and Candlewood Suites Mishawaka are each 7 minutes by car (1.8 and 1.9 miles) from the fieldhouse.
