What to know
Yes, you can book your own hotel (checked 2026-10-26). The Cactus Classic Invitational says it is not a Stay-To-Play event, and it runs Saturday, January 16 to Monday, January 18, 2027.
The Cactus Classic Invitational plays its games at the Tucson Convention Center, 260 S Church Ave, with the Sporting Chance Center, 2100 West Curtis Road, as the second site. The host puts the two sites about 15 minutes apart.
It is a three-day event over MLK weekend. Pool play is Saturday and Sunday, brackets are Monday, and the host asks teams not to book travel out before 6:00 PM Monday. That means two nights at minimum for most teams, three if you leave Tuesday morning (our calculation).
The host offers a hotel block run by ConferenceDirect, the JVA housing partner, with rates from $159 to $215 a night on its page. Entry is $800 per team, $750 for 12U, with at least 7 matches guaranteed in the Select divisions. The host does not state a guarantee for the Club divisions.
