2003 TOURNAMENT LODGING INFORMATION
This year, with the help of Geoff Klinger we have secured excellent rates at the WestCoast Salt Lake Hotel. Rates are a flat rate of $68.00 per room plus tax. That's right $68.00, you can't beat that. When making reservations ask for the Western States Forensics Tournament. The motel
address is 161 West 600 South. It is right downtown and close to the convention hotel.
The telephone (801) 521-7373 (direct line), or (800) 325-4000, fax (801) 524-0378, email heidi.gerrard@westcoasthotels.com
Reservation Deadline: Reservations must be made by JANUARY 13, 2003.
Reservations received after this date will be subject to space
availability and may be subject to the hotel's standard room rate. Please make reservations early to guarantee your space. Space is at a premium, particularly at this price. There may be other space close by, but it won't be at this great rate. CALL NOW If you have difficulty getting rooms,
please contact the Speech Activities Coordinator immediately.
*****Competition Room Policy:
Tournament rules require that each competing school furnish the tournament with a competition room for the tournament based on the formula. This rule will be strictly enforced. We cannot run the tournament without adequate rooms for competition. The room must be available from 8 a.m. Friday
until noon on Sunday. Because the hotel cannot guarantee that you can check into your room by 8 a.m., schools will need to reserve competition rooms from Thursday through Saturday nights. You will not be allowed to come in
Friday. Please make sure that you get checked in and get competition room numbers before you register for the tournament.
Competition Room Formula: Schools must provide competition rooms according to the following formula:
One room covers the first two debate teams and/or the first 12 IE slots (or fraction thereof). A second room covers a school's third and fourth debate team and/or 13th -24th IE slots. Etc.
We will make every effort to only use your room when you have students competing. For example, whenever possible, debate-only schools will not have their rooms used for IE's and vice-versa.
