Stay-to-Play Policy
LakePoint has a stay-to-play policy for most tournament events. You'll typically need to book through the event's housing portal. Prices through the portal can be $10-20/night higher than direct booking, but violating stay-to-play can result in team penalties. Check with your tournament director for specifics.

Tips for Booking
- Book through the tournament portal first to comply with stay-to-play requirements.
- I-75 Exit 283 is your zone. Everything you need — hotels, food, gas — is within a 2-mile radius.
- Friday arrivals are tough. Book early for Friday night. Saturday morning departures are common, so Saturday-only stays are easier to find.
- Bring your own breakfast supplies. Even free hotel breakfast gets old after 3 days. A cooler with yogurt, fruit, and bagels helps.
