2024 Hotel Policy

 To ensure the quality of service provided during the Needham Memorial Day Tournament has put in place a Stay and Play Hotel Policy.

WHAT IS A “STAY AND PLAY” TOURNAMENT?

Simply stated, if your team requires hotel accommodations your team must stay at one of the approved participating tournament partner hotels. These participating hotels are reviewable by clicking our Hotel and Field Map. (Reservations can be made prior to being accepted and should be made ASAP as the hotels fill up quickly).  

WHY IS THIS TOURNAMENT A “STAY AND PLAY” TOURNAMENT?

We work very hard to keep our costs down and also balance the economic impact a tournament like ours can have towards the metropolitan Boston area. The approved hotels on this website assist with both concerns and the following are some of the benefits to the teams and clubs:

  • To make it manageable we have room nights “blocked” for our out-of-town teams from our participating Partner Tournament Hotels.
  • Because we do not use a Third Party Housing Group and we negotiate large blocks of rooms with the hotels directly, you’ll find a wide variety of best pricing and amenities from our hotels.
    • To obtain these block rates we need to Enforce a 2-night minimum stay.
  • Care in selecting location and proximity to our playing fields (see our field age group/field location chart to find out where your team most likely will be playing so you can lock down hotels near your fields).
  • All of our tournament hotels have been approved due to their quality and desire to give our guests the best tournament experience.
  • Room inventory is shared with the tournament to ensure that room demands can be met from year to year.
  • By using participating tournament partner hotels the Needham Memorial Day Tournament can offer our “Act of God”  or  Force Majeure Clause. This state’s “Should this event be canceled for reasons beyond the Event Organizer’s control (including weather), all outstanding reservations will be released at no charge to the participants”  As we have learned due to Covid-19 and the Coronavirus this is very important for teams.

WHY ARE THERE PENALTIES FOR NOT ABIDING BY OUR HOTEL “STAY & PLAY” POLICY?

In order to best serve our out-of-town teams we need this to be a win-win for our guest teams and our hotels partners…If the rules are not followed then we jeopardize our relationships with these hotels and this could potentially add more costs to the teams.

WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR NOT FOLLOWING OUR POLICY?

  • An accepted team to the 2024 tournament who requires overnight accommodations and does not stay in one of our approved partner hotels will not be accepted to the tournament.
  • An accepted team to the 2024 tournament who requires overnight accommodations and double books their team at more than one hotel will not be accepted to the tournament or will be removed from the tournament.
  • Teams who do not stay the required 2 minimum will jeopardize forfeiting their games and not be allowed to return to the tournament the next year.
  • The Needham Memorial Day Tournament does not use a hotel service bureau. A hotel confirmation will need to be entered into your GotSoccer Registration before our acceptance deadline. 

WHAT IF OUR TEAM DOES NOT GET ACCEPTED AND WE HAVE A HOTEL RESERVATION?

Teams will be able to cancel their hotel reservation if they are not accepted to the tournament.

DUE TO SOME NON-COMPLIANCE OF OUR HOTEL RULES IN PAST YEARS WE HAVE INSTITUTED NEW RULES THIS YEAR
