In our area, I haven’t experienced this. As far as cheaper, and what appears as the driver, is a $35 surcharge that the hotel and tourney are splitting. That’s BS. That’s a lot of extra money for both. Call em out, coaches.

Sometimes there is a buyout. You simply pay the TD to get out of PTP. It feels like you are being extorted but it will save you money.

DD's team does the buyout when it is available. Usually between 50 and 100 per person to buyout.

We are playing in Colorado Sparkler Jr (Texas version). We signed up for a hotel locally and the hotel contract clearly stated that a $10 rebate and 10% commission were being paid to Triple Crown. I also looked at the hotel rates online for same time period (same room type). It is $30 less per night.

Now the math:

If we booked directly with hotel we would save (as a team) $1800 (plus some tax).

Triple Crown will earn approx $1350 from our booking. There will be over 100 teams, and we an assume that 50% (generous) of the teams will be local (no hotel), so Triple could make approx $60-$70k just from hotels.

Not sure what the buyout is, (or if even available) but we will investigate for sure.
