A little confused (well, that goes without saying!)


The 110 euro figure - is that just the tourney cost (food, prizes etc), or is that including the hotel (new location?)
If not, is there a plan for making a mass-booking, or is it going to be up to individual teams to sort out?

Just trying to get a handle on when I need to make funds available. Embarassed

I too am a little confused. The address Lucy posted is not the same address that Dave posted.

De Rode Hoed is the new venue.

111 Euro is for three days tournament, including 3 lunches.
I have a few hotels which offer deals, but it being Amsterdam, if you're on a tighter budget, I would recommend youth hostels.
We're trying to find one with a discount as well.

@Lucy:
The street is the "Keizersgracht 102" - so Hotel The Toren will be the nearest....?

I've written to 50 hotels/hotel chains and only 3 wanted to (could) offer a deal.
At the moment, these deals are probably worse than booking on booking.com, but we get 30+ rooms set aside for players in each and deals on booking.com are normally just for a few rooms.

Since these deals were ofcourse all written in Dutch, I will put them online as soon as possible.... Or once we know we have a deal with a youth hostel.

Lucy'

p.s: It probably is the nearest but definitely not the cheapets. And, I fear it's already completely booked Laughing

I looked also at some other hotels nearby and it seemed that you couldn't book a room for November now. Most of the Hotel sites say that you can't book a room from 17-21 Nov (and I won't believe that all the hotels are booked out here)
Or is there another event other than the BB WC?

Cheers

I tried the place I usually stay in Amsterdam and couldn't book. I'd guess there is a standard amount of time that is the maximum for advance bookings. 6 or 8 months maybe.
Off peak season I can't imagine for a second that the entire city is booked out...half of central Amsterdam is hotels after all.

111 Euro you must be giving out an awesome registration pack. Do we get to pick free the team, is it fixed, is it random?

What do you mean about pick free the team? I don't understand the question.

He's saying that for 111 Euro there must be one hell of a great giveaway included in the package and he thinks it is a free team and he asks if it is a team of each coach's choosing Smile

Oh I see, missed that. The 111 Euros is not that bad at all IMO. It includes some food and the rent of a place much bigger than "we" would normally use for our events.
It is also 3 days not 2.
Most of the time "we" hold tournaments in free/cheap spaces, but for this size and for 3 days the bookings are much more costly.
