Our team would be paid up pretty much a year in advance, with Hotel blocks starting to fill in October. You gotta get on that ASAP, or you will be sorry. This is no joke!
IDT: There are two divisions in 18u-The Boulder Division which is where you want to be and the Louisville Division, which is where you compete to qualify to get entry into the Boulder Division. I like it because you know exactly where you will play every game and they are not spaced out all over the Denver area. DD played in the 16U Hittin Kitten Division in the Sparkler, where there were college coaches. The last 3 years she played in the IDT Boulder. Night and Day in competition.
BTW, IDT is my favorite week of the year. I will miss it dearly. I just like leaving the hot humid climate of Houston for a 15 hour drive with the scenery changing every 2 hours and to arrive at my friend's house in Longmont knowing that I will have a cold basement to sleep in is bliss for me. And to enter Colorado through the Raton Pass is breath taking. The timing was always perfect for me since my favorite band Widespread Panic would do a 3 night run at Red Rocks (Fri, Sat, Sun) before the tourney. I was supposed to go back this past summer...but ya know.
