Kings Hammer SBD and Site Search, LLC have partnered to make securing hotel accommodations simple. Our goal is to help teams stay rested and ready to play by having a great hotel experience. Site Search, LLC will partner with the best local hotels to offer teams the best options and prices for your event.

Our events are “stay to play” tournaments. This means all teams traveling outside of a 90-mile radius are required to create a hotel block through Site Search, LL to secure their rooms. Site Search will work with each individual team contact to ensure teams have the best hotel experience. Commuting teams will not receive special scheduling requests based on their decision to commute rather than stay in a hotel.
