Housing is required. The host page says "All teams and individuals are required to book lodging through Prep Network’s SaveAndPlay platform" and that teams traveling more than 90 miles must reserve a minimum of 8 rooms for all event dates. Reservations made through third-party sites, directly with a hotel or with reward points do not meet the requirement and need an opt-out form.
The policy says Prep Network reviews each opt-out form and either approves or denies it. A denied team has to book through SaveAndPlay, and SaveAndPlay adds a booking fee of $10 per night, typically $20 total.
For New Berlin, WI, 8 rooms over 2 nights comes to 16 room-nights, our calculation. Of the 12 hotels in our list, the nearest is Holiday Inn Express, 7 minutes by car from OAW Indoor Sports Complex.
