Why does the USSF have to have this contract with Anthony Travel so we are hell bound to these inflated hotel prices for showcase events? I am curious if anyone else hates that we do not have the freedom to book hotels at our own discretion?

The team arranges the travel through Anthony, but the parents are on their own and don't need to go through Anthony from what we have been told.
So, we've always booked on our own. We couldn't do that with previous NPL-based tournaments for example.

its my understanding that the teams need to reserve a certain number of rooms in order to be in good standing with the league. I am not sure what kind of repercussions would come to a team that doesn't have said threshold. Our team doesn't allow us to book outside of Anthony Travel.

Stay-To-Play is terrible. The few times my daughters team went to one of these tournaments we didn't sign up until the last minute (while planning on attending all along) at which point they waived the requirement. They want to scam me, I'm going to scam them right back.

book your own accommodations...if anyone asks where you are staying....tell them you commuting and/or stayed with relatives..... They want to scam you, scam them right back.!!!!! this is all a sham.

Its an issue with most big tournaments and certainly isn't limited to soccer. The clubs have to commit to using the service to be included in the event. It's a total scam and it is amazing some state's attorney office hasn't cracked down on it. Some events only require a certain number of rooms booked (usually ten) so if you know most of your team is staying at the same hotel feel free to book elsewhere. I've even stayed with family, which can be a nice change of pace from stale hotel rooms. Fuk the system.
