Schedules just came out and our first game isn’t until Saturday noon. We previously signed an agreement with our hotel for Fri and Sat but now we are thinking we just want Sat night or perhaps we would take Sat and Sun night if we make it to the semi-finals. Can the tournament tell the hotel this is ok?
Agreements signed between hotels and teams are binding agreements between these two parties. The tournament does not have any authority over this area. Many of the most popular hotels know that there is enough demand for them to require a Fri and Sat night stay. They also understand that teams who promise to stay Sat and Sun nights instead of Fri and Sat nights are likely to check out early so they won’t accept this option from a team. If you are not positive you will stay Fri and Sat nights you should not select hotels that require the Fri/Sat two-night minimum.
