What is "Stay-to-Play"?
Stay to Play has been an increasing trend in USAV events. If a tournament is specified "STAY TO PLAY" it means the tournament host requires teams to stay in pre-blocked hotels through their housing company. Each team must block 5 rooms per night through them to be accepted into the tournament. These tournaments always fill up, and you are not accepted until entry fee, roster reqs, and hotels have been met.

Stay to Play FAQ:
The hotel I want to stay in is not on the list?
- You may contact EM2 Housing for updates at 800-603-0917. They normally tell you to chose from those available.
I can book cheaper on other websites, can I just do that?
- Your team will not be accepted into the tournament.
I don't want to stay that far from the venue. How do we move closer?
- You can book now and get on a waiting list for a closer hotel. Most are reserved in large blocks for the host clubs. The rooms become available as rooms are dropped from the reservation.
What is "Stay-to-Save"?
Stay to save: not required booking-the housing company EM2 will provide links with contracted rates at nearby hotels but there is no requirement to use them, they will be available for your convenience.
