Hey we are going to try and qualify for PGF this year. The website says if we don't use a PGF sponsored hotel we are to pay a $500 fee. Yet I called to get a block and the cheapest hotel was $115 not including tax. I called the same hotel and I get can a room as cheap as $60 bucks. Seems odd to me. We are from Florida and since the Berths were given to GCH (for finishing top 9) and Team North Florida (for, i don't really know), we will have to chase this berth. There are no qualifiers in Florida so we have to go up and down the coast to hopefully qualify.
As you can gather this will be quite the expensive summer. We are trying to make it as affordable as possible, but that hotel "fine" is confusing. I can understand if rooms were negotiated at lower rates return for volume. However, they were in fact higher. And the website states PGF receives a rebate. Not sure what that means, but I need some clarity. I'd email the TD's but I tried doing that a while ago and received no response. Can anyone who can provide me with some information? It would be greatly appreciated.
