NEW HOTEL BOOKING PROCEDURES
January 01, 2008
If you plan on staying overnight in Colorado Springs, your team is required to book hotel rooms using the tournament housing service in order to participate in the PPI.

(Please understand that hotel commissions help offset our venue costs at the Air Force Academy, which are approximately $9,000 per day.)

Each team must designate one person to be its Housing Manager.

Hotels will not be able to accept multiple reservations requests; however, hotels will be able to accommodate individual charges for rooms at check-in.

Hotels are also prohibited from accepting reservations from 3rd party booking services, such as corporate accounts or travel agencies. Teams or individuals who by pass these procedures will have to re-book through the Tournament Housing Service.
