Accomodations

Teams have the opportunity to stay on campus for the weekend of the championship.  UBC's Conference Housing provides reasonable rates for hotel-style rooms.  If enough teams register, apparently the center may give us reduced rates.  Look under "Gage Court Hotel" for information.  Rooms hold 4-5 people, include a kitchenette and are approximately $100/night. 

Nearby hotels/motels for cheaper rates will be posted here soon.
