Rules and Tab Room Procedures:  We will comply with all AMTA rules and procedures concerning the conduct of trials and tournaments.  The tab room will be open, except during the time immediately following Round 4 (and overnight, of course.  We need sleep, too!).  Coaches are welcome to observe rounds, enjoy coffee in the judges' room or join the tab room staff.

Lodging:  We have arranged for guaranteed rates at the following properties. All rates include a complimentary continental breakfast, but do not include tax.   We strongly recommend that you stay in Lexington.  If you would like information on lodging in adjacent communities, please contact Sara Zeigler.

Restaurants:  For a guide to Lexington-area dining, please click here.   For specific recommendations near your hotel, please contact Sara Zeigler.
