Frequently Asked Questions - Lodging

General Questions | Facilities | Lodging | Festival Night | ​CWS & Tickets
Is this a Stay to Play event?  How many room nights are required?
Yes, all out-of-state teams (or teams over 100 miles within the state of Nebraska) are required to book a minimum of 24 room nights (example: 6 rooms for 4 nights or 8 rooms for 3 nights) at a partnered property, inside the Triple Crown Block of rooms we have set aside for your team, listed on our site.  For more information please visit our Lodging Policy under the Partnered Property tab.
How do we book a block of rooms for our team in the Triple Crown Block at a partnered property listed on the site?
Visit www.OmahaSlumpBuster.com and select the Session your team is attending followed by the Lodging Partners tab and find the property you would like to stay at.

Click the "Reservations Tab" and the contact information (phone number / e-mail address) will be made available to you to set up your room block.
Are we allowed to book directly on the hotel website at one of your partnered properties?
No, all bookings need to go through the Triple Crown Contact person listed on our website.  A direct call or email needs to be made in order to get the discounted rate. 

​Any rooms booked directly through the hotel's website, not in the Triple Crown Block of rooms will not count towards the 24 required room nights per team.
Can we use a third party booking (hotels.com, Priceline, etc)?
No, all bookings need to be made directly with our contact person listed on the website where your team would like to stay via phone or email.  If you choose to book with a third party then the team will incur a $750.00 lodging surcharge in order to participate.
Can I use my lodging/hotel points?
Personal points do not count towards the minimum 24 room nights required for teams to participate, even if you are staying at the partner property is listed on our site. 

​The rooms MUST be in the Triple Crown Block of rooms we have reserved for teams. 

​Once the minimum room nights (24) is met you can use your hotel or lodging points.
Can I use my veteran discount/rate?
No, all bookings need to be made directly with our contact person at one of our partnered properties listed on the website where your team would like to stay via phone or email. 

​Once the minimum room nights (24) is met you can use your veteran discount.
We would like to stay a partner property on your site but it is Sold Out.   When we called, they still have rooms available but at a higher rate.  Can we still stay there if we are willing to pay the higher rate?
Before you book any rooms at a partner property that is sold out, you need to call our Lodging Department (Rick Walters) at 970-672-0534 and he will communicate with our contact person to see if they are willing to extend the Triple Crown Block of rooms.
Do you guys offer a “Buy Out” if we choose to rent a house (AirBnB), camp, stay with family or stay at a non-partnered property?
Yes, if your team decides to book with a non partner property, the team would be REQUIRED to pay the $750.00 lodging surcharge fee.
What is the lodging surcharge of $750?
Teams are subject to a $750 lodging surcharge / buyout in order to participate if your team chooses not to book directly with a partner property within the Triple Crown block of rooms.

In addition, this includes 3rd party booking companies (i.e. Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, etc.), AIRBNB, camping, staying with family, stay at a non partner property (or at a partner property not in the Triple Crown block), etc.

​Please see our lodging policy tab for additional details.
Do we need to pay the lodging surcharge at the time of our registration?
No, this can be paid anytime prior to May 1st by clicking on the Lodging Surcharge button on the Event Details page where you registered your team.
Why is our team not showing up as being validated?
In order to become validated and participate in the event, a team representative (Coach, Team Manager, Team Mom) will need to submit each individual confirmation number from the hotel. 

This is a very simple process that takes less than 10 minutes once each of the confirmation numbers are collected from the families. 

There is a drop-down menu of each hotel (alphabetical order), and a drop-down menu of your team name (alphabetical order).  Select those, enter in the first and last name and confirmation number and hit submit. 

​Once submitted, we will confirm with the property and validate your team.  Please be patient with us as we are validating nearly 700 teams.
Can I just put our team (one) confirmation number?
No, in order for your team to become validated and participate in the event we will need each of the families (unique room) confirmation number.
The property we would like to stay at does not have any Double Double rooms remaining in the Triple Crown Block
We do not guarantee any room type in the Triple Crown Block of rooms we have set aside.  Each property's contract is different, some partner properties will give us a lot of double beds and other will only give us king rooms with pullout sofas. 

The earlier you book your rooms the better chance you will have to secure double double room types.  You would need to either secure the king rooms with pullout sofas or look for another property with double beds.
Do we have to pay first night’s room up front?
Due to the demand for rooms during the CWS, in some cases, yes, the hotel will require you to pay your first night’s room up front.
We would like to stay at a property near our fields, do you know where that is?
Games will be all over the greater Omaha and Council Bluffs area, including up to an hour away.  The most central location is 72nd street and I-80.

This would give you about a 15 min drive to all the parks in the Greater Omaha and Council Bluffs Area.  From one end of town to the other is about a 25 min drive.

There may be fields that will be up to an hour away.
For teams participating in Session 1...
This is also during the 2021 US Olympic Swim Trials going on across the street from TD AmeriTrade Park.  Lodging will be very difficult to get during this time.  Be sure you book your rooms with a Triple Crown Partner Property ASAP!
Can we book lodging without being paid for the event?
Yes, we recommend to secure your lodging ASAP.
do athletes stay in dorms or at a partner hotel with family members?
Athletes stay with their family members at one of our hotel partners.
