• How many preferred roommates (note $25 stated charge for 3rd & 4th roommates)
• Other preferences (gender, good cuddle buddies, etc)
• I will then have one of you reserve the room for the group of roommates via the link above
• Free Bus Shuttle to/from tourney site, both days - no car necessary for the tourney.

FLIGHTS

• Book your flights ASAP to ensure a good rate.
• You can choose to fly into either SFO or Oakland Airports.
• SFO (~14 miles away) tends to be more convenient & popular as there is less traffic to/from hotel.
• Hilton does not offer airport shuttles, but still plenty of options to get to/from hotel & airport:
• BART - (Hilton is a 10 minute walk from Montgomery Station exit)
  
• SuperShuttle
  
• Taxi
• Limo Service (surprisingly comparable rate to a taxi according to race organizers)
• Teleportation!
  

More info to come later - but for now, get your travel & lodging plans set!
