PACKAGE EXPLANATION

The Montreal Challenge Cup is available in a Package format where prices are charged on a per person basis depending on the number of Adults and Players in each room. This per person cost includes hotel accommodations, the tournament fee, and all of the package benefits listed for the tournament. All tax and gratuity is included in prices. Hotel parking is not included. The price is per person for the weekend. There are no additional fees.

To calculate costs for the packages, add the number of adults and players in a room. This determines the occupancy i.e. 2 adults + 1 player = triple occupancy. Once you know the occupancy, simply add the corresponding per person cost for each adult and player in that room. Double occupancy rate is based on one adult and one player in the room. All non-playing minors are free and do not receive any package benefits. Minors do not affect the occupancy. Minors stay with parent(s) in existing bed space.

For teams traveling a long distance, we suggest a Thursday arrival. Select additional night during checkout process.
