***IMPORTANT:  You need to book The Residence Inn by today, Wednesday, February 10th to get the $129 rate.  When you call to book, call the hotel directly, 854-7100, and ask for the Harkins Middle School rate.  We have a room guarantee contract that Mr. Mattatall (the tournament organizer) signed to guarantee the $129 for 10 rooms, although he just spoke to the booking manager and she said if needed she can add a few more rooms. The contract states that the rooms cannot be cancelled due to the rate, therefore you might want to keep that in mind. It also outlines hotel policies and states that rooms need to be booked tomorrow.  After tomorrow, they will not guarantee the $129 rate.    ***We will meet at the Bessborough Middle School for our first game at 6:50pm (game begins at 7:20pm).  If you did not get a print off of the google map directions, see the folder outside of Miss Barrieau’s classroom door.   *** Saturday February 13th we play at 8:45 am  Magnetic Hill vs Harkins and at 12:45 pm Bessborough vs Harkins.    2:45 pm Semi-final #1 vs #4 4:00 pm Semi-final #2 vs #3   ***Miss Barrieau’s cellphone # is 625-3870 if you have questions or need to get in touch over the weekend.    J

Hello Amy,   I think we finally have everything straightened out for the hotel.  When your parents call to book they need to call the hotel directly, 854-7100, and ask for the Harkins Middle School rate.  The attachment is the room guarantee contract that I signed to guarantee the $129 for 10 rooms, although I just spoke to the booking manager and she said if needed she can add a few more rooms. The contract states that the rooms cannot be cancelled due to the rate, therefore you might want to mention that to anyone booking rooms.  It also outlines hotel policies and states that rooms need to be booked tomorrow.  After tomorrow, they will not guarantee the $129 rate.    I sincerely apologize for all the aggravation that this hotel booking has caused both you and any parents.  We chose to affiliate ourselves with this hotel based on the rate, pool, and the fact that it included a hot breakfast which we thought would help reduce costs for teams.  If you have any further difficulties with reserving rooms, please call me.   See you Friday, Nick Mattatall Grade 5,7 & 8 Bessborough School

Hi Amy,    Tomorrow after school I am meeting with the manager at the hotel to sign a room block verification sheet.  After that there shouldn't be any problems and I have been assured that the $129 rate is what you will get.  I'm really sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused either you or the parents of your players.   I will email you tomorrow after I meet with the manager tomorrow to verify with you that everything has been rectified. On Saturday, we have parents who are making homemade chili, corn chowder and chicken noodle soup that will be sold from the canteen to provide an economical lunch for parents and students wishing to remain on site.  We will also have Powerade, fresh popcorn and other items available at the canteen on Friday and Saturday.     Take care, Nick Mattatall Grade 5,7 & 8 Bessborough School

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
