Check-in
Tournament Check-in is not mandatory. We encourage you to arrive on Wednesday, Nov. 24 at the Irvine Marriott to pick up maps and draws, etc. However, if you do not, you must be able to find your site ON YOUR OWN (please don't call and tie up the tournament line). The hotel will be happy to hand you a map if you stop by on your way to your site (you can MapQuest the hotel address above).

CLOSEST AIRPORT
The best airport is Orange County (SNA) which is 5 minutes from the tournament hotel. Also close by is the Ontario (ONT) which is 40 minutes inland, but traffic is not bad coming this way. LAX is 45 minutes north, but on Wednesday before Thanksgiving it will be jammed with traffic (also every day during rush hour).

ALTERNATES
We have put those alternates with current national standings, and more than 40 points (boys) or 70 points (girls) IN ORDER on the alternate list. Please let us know if there is an error, or if you do not wish to remain on the list. Thanks!
