Accomodations:
If you are in need of accomodations for the tournament, I have looked into several hotels and I would really only recommend 1 at this point. I will look into a few more I know of to see the quality.

Econo-Lodge (not recommended) - around 60 per room. Should house 3.
Days Inn (not recommended) - around 60 per room. Should house 2
Hampton Inn - 80 + tax per room. Should house 2, possibly 3.

La Quinta Inn - 62 on Friday, 55 on Saturday. Always been happy with the quality at La Quinta. Should accomodate 3.

Comfort Suites
Holiday Inn
Extended Stay America
Best Western

Confirmed Attendees:
Unclechawie
Bigspooky +1?
Inked Lawyer
Specialsaucereid +1
Gambit
Candian Bacon & Houston +2
Vash Stampede +2

Awaiting Confirmation:
Racerxgm and Longview (5-10)
Ralph Edwards
Robert Ross
Cooltom2007

* - These prizes may be broken down into individual prizes as opposed to bulk. Will depend on attendance.
** - MOR may be replaced by MSM as I can't seem to find a second box of MOR. Will depend on attendance. That would really make Spider Friends, Underworld, Sinister Syndicate, and Crime Lords very interesting

Sweet! From the looks of pricing, as long as I get 15 for both Saturday events, that should cover the cost of the tournament. We should have that just from the guys around this area. If you can get with the guy from Houston and find out his plans in terms of when he is coming and all we can try to get all the out of towners at the some hotel.

CB - I'm thinking about opening up Sunday for a Golden BYOT (strict rules) if anyone is interested. It looks like I'll be working that day so I'll be there to oversee somewhat. I'd need some help in judging, matchups on Mantis and what not, but I'm thinking it might entice some more guys.

Let me know, when you can if you're planning on coming. Thanks.

The accomodations are ranging at this point from 40-70 + tax per room regardless of the number of occupants. Some of the rooms accomodate 3 so splitting the price wouldn't be all the bad. If you've got access to realms minus the virus, of course, you may want to check the regular thread there as I had some info there regarding the hotels. Let me know if you have any other questions.
