Housing Required Events

New this season, you must be registered prior to the booking date to secure housing for all Housing Required events. Once housing opens, you will receive a pre-scheduled block of time that your program can book your blocks. Please see below for timing for standard Housing Required events and Cheer Super Nationals events.

For questions, please contact staysmart@varsity.com.

Regardless of the Stay Smart event type you choose, you will notice that our housing partners have negotiated team-friendly, flexible policies surrounding deposits and cancellations for all of our events, in the hopes that you can spend less time on room blocks and more time on your team’s preparation and performance. To access links to convenient booking options through our housing partners, please see that specific event page and scroll down to additional information.

Stay Smart Housing Required Events
These are mostly World’s Bid giving or City Wide events with hotels that require attrition on blocks in exchange for hosting the event. Varsity All Star has worked hard over the last few years to minimize the number of events with a Housing Required designation. When an event is classified as housing required, it helps us to ensure that the event is held on the most ideal date in the most ideal venue and city. This enables our partners to lock in the lowest hotel rates at premier properties, guarantee hotel room types, and amenities.

Stay Smart Housing Rewards Events
For the majority of our two-day National and Showdown events, you now have the exciting option of booking through our housing partner for premium hotel properties. Our housing partner has worked tirelessly to secure the best rates and amenities for you and we are excited to offer you blocks with team friendly terms and conditions as well as exciting rewards for booking through our partner hotels at these select events!

Stay Smart Housing Offered Events
For our Classic and Challenge one-day events, we are excited to bring you another option that will suit your busy life-style and meet the unique needs of your program. These events will offer our TTS Live! link for fast, convenient booking of rooms with the hotels brands you know and love at wholesale prices.

• Lowest Room Rate Guarantee, plus an easy way to report a lower rate if you find one*
• Block Schedules provided no less than 4 weeks prior to each 2-day event, giving teams the ability to book only the nights needed
• Simplified booking and compliance processes
• Ability to collect and use hotel loyalty points
• No minimum night stay
  • Some premier hotel properties may require a minimum night stay for their hotel. This is not a requirement of Stay Smart.

*Lowest Room Rate Guarantee will be honored when comparable rooms are found for a lower rate. If you find a room of the same type (double, king, etc.), on the same dates, with the same included amenities (breakfast, parking, etc.) and with the same team-friendly payment and cancellation terms, please report it to the Housing Partner.

Housing for Offered & REWARDS events will open on July 19th at 12:00pm ET. Additional information for Housing Required events will be coming soon!

How does a customer benefit from attending an event where housing is required?

Housing requirements at events will…

• Ensure the event is held on the most ideal date
• Lock in the lowest hotel rates at the premier properties
• Guarantee hotel room types
• Ensure hotel terms and conditions are fair and team-friendly
• Allow you to collect and use your hotel loyalty points.

What is the purpose of a housing requirement? 

The purpose of a housing requirement is two-fold. The first purpose is to protect our customers. Having a housing requirement allows our housing partners the ability to negotiate the lowest rates, and hold those rates firm for our customers, preventing supply and demand from influencing rate changes from the time the venues are contracted until the event occurs. These negotiations also include getting the best amenities and team-friendly cancellation policies with premier hotel properties near the venue.

Secondly, the ability to secure the best space for an event in the ideal time frame is directly tied to the event producer’s ability to deliver and track hotel room nights. Cities build convention centers and venues of all sizes to bring in business. Cities measure an event’s impact on their economy based on hotel room usage. If an event can prove their positive economic impact on the city by accounting for all their participants utilizing their hotels, then the city will in turn help the event to secure the best possible dates and rates for the future. This is true for large, city-wide events, as well as smaller events in smaller cities.
