Finding your way around the hotel.

When you enter the hotel, the hotel registration desk will be in front of you.

To the LEFT of the lobby doors you will find:
  • Registration - Note, there are TWO registration booths where you will get your athlete badges, the closest to the lobby doors is for Session 1 Athletes. The one closest to the spectator entrance (down the same hall) is for Session 2, Primetime & Coaches.
  • Warm-up Room
  • Athlete Bathrooms
  • Venue

To the RIGHT side of the hotel registration desk, you will find:
  • Equipment Check
  • Weight-Check Scale (in the same room as Equipment Check, between the hours of 9pm & 5:00am you will ask the hotel registration staff for access to the scale.)
  • Weigh-in room
  • Spectator Bathrooms

Signs will be posted to help you find your way, or ask our staff or referees to help guide you.
