Hi Amy,   I called the Residence Inn today and spoke to our parent that got the initial quote.  I have a call in to the hotel manager to clarify this misunderstanding and the clerk at the hotel suggested that the rooms still be booked at the $149 rate to reserve them, have them tagged by the reservation clerk as rooms for the Bessborough Basketball Tournament, and then when I speak to the manager on Monday, adjustments can be made to the reservation.   The explanation that I received was that as the hotel fills, the rates gradually increase.  There are two hockey tournaments in town next week, so rooms are starting to fill.  Where we were quoted and guaranteed a rate of $129, I will do everything I can to make sure that your players/parents get that rate.    Hopefully this helps, Nick Mattatall Grade 5,7 & 8 Bessborough School

Message from Bessborough Tournament Organizer:    Hello Everyone,   Once again thank you very much for your enrollment in our 50th anniversary tournament.  Below you will find a tentative schedule.  Some times may have to be adjusted after I have referee allocations confirmed by the referee coordinator.  Please review the schedule and if there are any problems please email me asap so that we can make necessary changes and inform all teams within a reasonable period of time to make alternate travel arrrangements.  Further details regarding the pizza party, tournament rules and other information will be sent with a finalized schedule Monday.    We will be playing 4 eight minute quarters.  I have built in some catch-up time in the event that games run late; however, if possible I would like teams to be on site 15 minutes before the game so that if necessary and agreed to by both teams we can start immediately following the conclusion of the previous game. Canteen facilities will be available on site with fresh popcorn, Powerade and other items available.  We will also be having a silent auction both Friday night and Saturday that is open to anyone participating in the tournament as well as any family members or fans on site.  Prizes include hotel rooms, restaurant gift certificates, zoo passes and other prizes.   Friday February 12th 1:30 pm  Hillcrest vs Bessborough 3:00 pm  Lewisville vs Dr. Losier 4:15 pm  Bessborough vs Magnetic Hill 6:00 pm  Hillcrest vs Dr. Losier 7:20 pm  Harkins vs Lewisville   Saturday February 13th 8:45 am  Magnetic Hill vs Harkins 10:00 am Hillcrest vs Lewisville 11:15 am Dr. Losier vs Magnetic Hill 12:45 pm Bessborough vs Harkins   2:45 pm Semi-final #1 vs #4 4:00 pm Semi-final #2 vs #3   6:00 pm  Final   Nick Mattatall Grade 5,7 & 8 Bessborough School
