Exemptions the rules list

  • Local teams, commuting daily, whose players all have their primary residence within 60-miles of the tournament can email for an exemption request. Secondary, seasonal and vacation homes do not qualify for exemption.

Penalty the rules list

Any team not booking the minimum of 20 room nights through HBC Event Services is responsible for paying the opt-out fee in order to remain eligible for the tournament

Housing partner

HBC Event Services (usssa1hotels.com)

Refund policy: Refunds cannot be issued after the deadlines listed. Balance due June 21 (Weeks 1 and 2) and July 2 (Week 3). Opt-out fee refunds before the deadline are less a $25 processing fee. Source.

What to know

The rules say all out of town teams book through HBC Event Services or pay the housing opt-out fee. The minimum is 20 room nights per team, for example 5 rooms for 4 nights.

The opt-out fee in the 2027 packet is $900 per team. The packet says booking directly with a hotel or a non-partner hotel is not stay to play compliant.

Teams with every player living within 60 miles can email for an exemption. Vacation and seasonal homes do not qualify.

The host calls Henry Parker the hub park. Other parks are a reasonable drive away, so Salisbury hotels cut the commute and Ocean City is closer to the beach. Entry is $1,425 per team and the packet lists four pool games before a double elimination bracket.
