This will also simplify some of the logistics for teams running rotations

There are a number of places in the Morgantown area in which we could host such an event that have hotels nearby or even in the venue itself. Other venues have rooms in which we could set up cots or mattresses. If use a hotel, my idea would be to block out a couple rooms as a part of the registration fee. If we go the high school route, there are areas in which to sleep, including two separate gymnasiums, a cafeteria, and a lobby, as well as a hotel a couple blocks away. The university stadium has a number of places like this as well, with a couple hotels in walking distance. And this is a really safe city (especially the areas we are considering hosting) so there would be no need to stress over walking a couple blocks in the middle of the night. There would definitely be some kind of sleeping arrangement made. The idea would be to require teams to think out their sleep rotations on the fly around their match schedule.

Those of us more hardcore competitors will just have lots of coffee and mountain dew and tough the entire thing out
