St. Louis Championship Housing
 

Hey all,

Here's the post I'm referencing: http://www.firstinspires.org/robotic...g-registration

I've gone to try and reserve rooms 4 times - about 15 minutes after registration opened and then about once a week since then. I've been looking for a hotel within walking distance, but everything is already sold out. (Lots of single beds are available, but that makes everything 2x as expensive.)

Does anyone know if this might be because so many teams have already preregistered or if the inventory simply isn't posted yet from the hotels?

While I appreciate the fact that the inventory updates dynamically, now it becomes a guessing game as to when a team might drop their reservations because they don't qualify for Worlds. Meanwhile, I've reserved a less than optimal hotel simply because I want to make sure I have something. This further bogs down the system.

Let me know if anyone has any advice or information. Thanks!

Most, if not all the teams, including mine, have probably signed up and booked the rooms in advance for a "just in case" setup. If you don't pre-book earily enough, you will be driving/transporting back and forth to the event.

Rooms will start to open up as teams find out if they have made it or not. As for it being a guessing game of when the team drop and spaces are open, ya, probably. I always see open room threads and request start to pop up as it gets closer to the event.
