Team Accommodations
The Host Committee has been fortunate in arranging for UPEI to act as the host accommodations for the tournament. The Host Committee has reserved rooms at two residences, Bernadine Hall and the New Residence for July 6th to July 12th inclusive. Any other nights are the financial responsibility of the teams. The Host Committee will be responsible for the payment of rooms for the teams coming to the province to a maximum of 20 people, 3 coaches and 17 players.
Teams will be asked to indicate the number of players and coaches. The rooms will only be held until May 20th, 2009. A request will be made to the Provincial/Territorial softball associations and International Associations to reserve the number of rooms required on behalf of the teams from their jurisdiction to ensure the rooms are available.
