Once Melanie receives your email you will be contacted with further instructions.

Transportation Schedule from Hotel to Venue - If you signed up for transportation to and from the venue, your schedule will be sent to you the night before competition day.  Lakeshore will only run shuttles in the morning to get athletes to the venue and then in the evening.  Lakeshore will not be providing rides outside of the scheduled times.  The schedule is also created to ensure athletes with the first round of games are transported first.  Athletes will not be allowed to ride the shuttle outside of their scheduled times. Lakeshore’s transportation lead for the event will email the transportation schedule. The schedule will also be posted at the venue as well as at the four hotels where transportation is being provided to and from.

Lunch
Lakeshore has its own kitchen and its own dining services program. Lakeshore will provide people who register for the competition with a full lunch each day of competition. The cost of the prepared lunch is included in the registration fee. If you have people traveling with you who are not registered, you may purchase lunch tickets for them when you register for the tournament. The Lunch Tickets are sold as a package for the four days of competition (July 31 – August 3).  $15 per day x 4 days = $60 per person.  If you are purchasing a lunch ticket for a guest(s) and your guest(s) has a food Allergy or a Dietary Restriction, please indicate how many guests and type of either Food Allergy or Dietary Restriction on your Lakeshore Waiver form. The lunch menu will be determined before the competition and will be posted online. Those people who do not purchase lunch tickets in advance can buy lunch (cash or credit) at the venue concession stand. Additional snacks and drinks can be purchased throughout the competition at the concession stand.
