For all CBTF designated events, all official delegation members (athletes, coaches, judges, and officials) whose primary residence is outside 100 KM from the competition venue are required to stay in the designated lodging options provided by the host organizing committee when the host committee stipulates it is a condition of event sponsorship.

Reservations must be made through the official CBTF room block, as identified on the CBTF website for the event and in official event mailings. Bookings made outside of the official room block including, but not limited to:

• Any online distribution channels (e.g., Priceline, Hotwire, or similar discount sites),
• Any negotiated corporate, government, Indigenous, or other rates at the contracted host hotel,
• Any hotel loyalty points bookings at the host hotel (e.g., Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, etc.)

will be deemed non-compliant and subject to the penalty noted below.

Penalty:
Participants who do not comply with the policy shall be denied competition entry. The CBTF reserves the right to enforce this policy, and failure to comply will result in a mandatory fine of $500.00 per participant.

Exemptions:
If circumstances prevent a participant from staying at a host hotel, despite having made every reasonable effort to comply, the Club Director may apply directly to the Host Competition Director for an exemption. Such exemption shall not be unreasonably denied.

Reasons for exemption will be reviewed and considered by the CBTF and the Organizing Committee.
