Schedule:
The schedule is expected to be posted on October 1, but will likely come out later than that. The best place to stay up to date is the SB Showdown Tourney Machine page.
Lodging:
Santa Barbara is always a challenge for hotel rooms. This year is no different. Many of you have already booked at either a hotel or house, but if you haven’t click HERE for the official hotel list provided by the tournament. There is no team hotel because it is too difficult to get rooms in one location. And depending on your game schedule, you may be able to drive up from LA on Saturday morning.
