2017 HOUSING AT FINAL 4

Housing for the Final 4 in Cortland is being administered by New York West.  This should result in rooms being available for all teams in the Cortland area at very favorable room rates.  Blocks of rooms have been set aside for our tournament.  When a team advances to the Final 4, the team’s primary contact will be forwarded an email with a contact phone number to call and secure your rooms.  You will not be able to secure rooms at the best rates without using this method.  Teams who commit to using housing provided by NYSW and then do not use it , or go outside our Cup housing system will be subject to a $500.00 penality.
