Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center has partnered with Oakwood Lodging Group to assist with all of your tournament housing needs. All rooms MUST be booked using Oakwood Lodging Group. They offer the lowest rate online and have access to a wide variety of hotels/resorts in the Sandusky area! Check availability and a full list of the hotels by visiting Oakwood Lodging online listings or calling 1-470-505-9980.
Teams from the local area (within 60 miles) are not required to stay in a hotel and can choose to commute to the park each day. We will use the Head Coach’s address to determine this. *Non-local teams that choose to book outside of this lodging process may be assessed a $350 fee upon team check-in.
FLIGHTS CRITERIA
Please make sure that your GotSport information is correct- your head coach (the one coaching the games) and your team name. You can log into GotSport to change what you need. This will ensure that we can try to accommodate any coaching conflicts. This MUST be completed before flights are posted.
Please click here to assign your primary coaching assignments: Coaching Conflicts
Before you request a change in flight placement, please note that the tournament committee has done their due diligence in researching the following:
- Current Registered League play
- Current/Past League play results
- Past Tournament results
- Comparison to other teams in Event
- Application information
- Requested bracket
If you believe your team has been bracketed incorrectly, please email the event staff with specific results that support your argument by our deadline stated in the flight email. Please include the following in the email:
- Team name, age group/gender and current flight.
- Scores against other teams in the event or scores from leagues or recent tournaments.
Please don’t include anything with “rankings”. We especially look at actual scores and events that teams have attended this fall/winter/spring. These are the most accurate indicators of your team’s level. Again, be specific please. It is not our goal to set anyone up for failure or to stack the deck in any team’s favor, we want the best competition for all of the teams in our event.
*Please note this does NOT guarantee a change in flight, the final decision is at the discretion of the tournament committee.
SCHEDULE CRITERIA

- A major mistake ( a team playing two games at the same time or back to back games).
Although we know life happens but we simply cannot honor requests for the following reason as there are just too many:
- Travel Distance: Event staff will attempt to accommodate a teams traveling distance to and from the event, it is not guaranteed.
- Personal reasons (weddings, etc).
- Non-event specific coaching conflicts not related to this event (another team you are coaching is playing elsewhere).
All support ticket emails must be made before schedules become final.
