The PNQ provides a complimentary SHARED hotel room for all out-of-town officials at various hotels throughout the Spokane area for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday on Week 2) nights. You MUST WORK ALL THREE DAYS to receive accommodations.  You will be given your hotel information the week of the tournament that you work.

TRANSPORTATION

The tournament will be operating a courtesy vehicle to/from the hotel and playing venues for those out-of-town officials who do not have a vehicle. Please make sure to mark this information on your reply form accurately so that we are able to arrange housing efficiently.
