Make sure that when you apply and fill out the Lodging Request Form that you make note that you want to be placed together with a specific group, or team. We cannot make any guarantees but will strive to honor your requests. |
| I am a local team who does not require housing. Do I still need to book hotel rooms to be in the tournament? No. Only the teams who require housing during their participation in the tournament, must use the hotels that are listed on the www,veteransinvitational.com web site as part of their acceptance. ALL teams will be asked to fill out a hotel form verfying where they are staying for the event. |
| Will the rates be higher? Our contract with the hotels guarantees the lowest rate. Anyone, soccer team or individual traveler, wanting to stay at the participating hotels tournament weekend will be quoted the same rate.
