not happening.  It would be one thing if there was one club or organization running ALL of the available tournaments in a given area.  But we all know this just isn't the case, especially int he DMV.  Some tournaments are run by individual clubs, some by organizations, some by the leagues themselves. And as PP said, there is a choice of hotels and prices in these stay to play tournament.  It's not like you're being forced to book the Ritz to play.  In fact, the tournament OP is posting about is hosted by a club (Beach FC), which doesn't obviously have a monopoly on all soccer tournaments in the area. And when picking a hotel, there are a bunch of different hotel brands and price options, so it just doesn't seem like there is a colorable claim here (at least not for OP's tournament or any of the tournaments most of our kids play in here in DMV).  And who wants to spend the  hundred of thousands of dolors to test this weak theory?  You'd be better of paying for the moderately priced hotel or just not playing.[/quote]
My issue is more with the booking agency fees and the hotel rates you get through them.  When your paying a fee to them and a higher rate for a room than if you were to go directly to the hotel and book.     [/quote]

That happened to us last month.  At NCFC, it was cheaper to book directly through the hotel than the rates we got from the agency.  Over 40 dollars cheaper.[/quote]

Or worse, when the hotel options available are crap and you can stay somewhere much nicer for the same amount.  Unfortunately some tournaments try to enforce this dumb policy.  [/quote]
