We encourage all teams to use the UH Hilton on campus. We have a block rate of $169/night. The link to use is here:

Air travel discounts:

We have already negotiated a discount with United. When booking use code ZN47362157 to get fees waived and a small discount.

A Southwest discount will be announced shortly.

In enough teams are interested in avoiding having to rent cars we can arrange busing from IAH to campus on Friday. Please contact Rob Glass if your program is interested.

FOOD

Will be provided Saturday and Sunday, with lunch probably Monday.

Fees

Will be decided by mid-August. Current plan is aiming to be $60-$80/person.
