Tournaments  

The Virginian Memorial Day Soccer Tournament is pleased to announce that tournament housing reservations will be available on-line for the first time this year. Our partner, Certified Travel, has developed a proprietary on-line reservation system to track and allocate room blocks for our tournament based on date of request and availability. You will have two options to reserve your place on the wait list this year. You may make your reservation either with or without hotel choices at this time.

HOTEL AND FIELD ASSIGNMENTS
Hotels will be assigned beginning mid April 2008, based on your date of reservation and availability. IMPORTANT: All teams MUST review their hotel requests once field assignments are posted on the Virginian website (on or around March 20, 2008), and all teams must complete their final review and hotel selection by April 4, 2008.

CLUB BOOKINGS
Clubs requiring a large block of rooms for multiple teams should contact Certified Travel for special assistance.

CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
Once entered, credit card information is "masked" in the system, so you can give team members access to the account without worrying about anyone seeing someone else's credit card information. By having individual card-holders log into the system with your email address and password, they can then enter their individual credit card information securely and directly.

NEED HELP?
Housing specialists are available M-F 8:30 am - 5:00 pm at Certified Travel - 800-237-1517 extension 5.

1) RESERVE YOUR PLACE ON THE WAIT LIST WITHOUT HOTEL CHOICES

If you want to wait until field assignments are announced to choose your hotels, but want to place your team on the date-ordered wait list, take the following steps:

a) Click link above, "Reserve your place on the wait list without hotel choices."

b) Select your reservation dates and number of rooms needed, up to 20 on a single reservation.

c) Proceed straight to "book" in the first section where it says "choose no hotel selection at this time."

d) Click on the "continue to contact information" button at bottom right corner of screen to create your account.

e) Create your account or log into an existing account. The next screens will lead you through setting up a personalized team account and password. Once you have an account set up with Certified Travel, you can use your chosen email address and password to set up future reservations in the years to come, as well as view and manage your reservation for this year. This account will offer your team access to your reservations 24/7.

f) After entering your team information (name, age group, gender), choose "no hotel selection at this time" as your alternate hotel selections 2,3,4 & 5. All of this information is stored in our system along with your date of reservation.

g) Manage your rooming list. The "My Account" system allows teams to enter individual names on the rooming list, adjust arrival and departure dates, remove and/or add rooms, and enter credit card information for individual rooms. All of this can be done either at the time of the initial hotel request, or teams can log in later to fill in their detailed information.

2) RESERVE YOUR PLACE ON THE WAIT LIST WITH HOTEL CHOICES

a) Select your dates and number of rooms
Click the link above. You will be asked to select your reservation dates and the number of rooms needed, up to 20 on a single reservation. Once you submit this information, you will be taken to a screen with a hotel list showing rate, area location and amenities. A picture of each hotel can be seen by placing your mouse over the hotel name. Click on the hotel name to view the hotel address and amenities.

b) Review the hotel choices - make your top hotel selection
On this hotel list screen, you will select your top hotel choice. All hotels are listed as "To Be Requested" as this is a wait list reservation. Click the "Book" button; then, click the "continue to contact information" button.

c) Create your account with Certified Travel or log into an existing account
The next screens will lead you through setting up a personalized team account and password. Once you have an account set up with Certified Travel, you can use your chosen email address and password to set up future reservations in the years to come, as well as view and manage your reservation for this year. This account will offer your team access to your reservations 24/7.

d) Enter your alternate hotel choices and team information
You next enter team information (name, age group, gender) and choose your alternate hotel selections 2,3,4 & 5. All of this information is stored in our system along with your date of reservation.

e) Manage your rooming list
The "My Account" system allows teams to enter individual names on the rooming list, adjust arrival and departure dates, remove and/or add rooms, and enter credit card information for individual rooms. All of this can be done either at the time of the initial hotel request, or teams can log in later to fill in their detailed information.
