If you need an inflated fee for your records/requests, we can do that.

6 Cases of Gatorade will be provided by DePaul University on behalf of Pepsi (a free service btw)
Food will only be served to the Officials, but you are welcome to buy stuff from anywhere and bring it in, as long as it is eaten downstairs in the Lobby or upstairs in Room 312.
Search "food loc: Ray Meyer Fitness and Recreation Center, Chicago, IL 60614" on Google Maps for more great local places close to the Venue. Chicago loves to eat.
Lodging:
Here's a bunch of places with a DePaul rate. Just make sure you ask about a DePaul rate when you register.
If you need help in registering or looking at stuff, I want to help.
Parking:
Street parking bordering any part of DePaul's campus is non permit, other parts are either metered or labeled as permit. There is also a parking garage down the street.
Permit spaces: Permits are only in effect from 6:00pm - 7:00am. It's ok to park there doing the day, just can't stay there overnight.
You cannot park in the church parking lot, which is across the street from the Ray! It will be probably be blocked off and you will be towed.

Other Information:
- About the CDO: The Chicago Dodgeball Open was part of the tradition of how the NCDA now handles its large tournaments, such as Nationals. Stemmed out of the original Michigan Dodgeball Cup and the start of inter-collegiate dodgeball, DePaul's intention is to put on a great tournament in the CDO and continue the tradition of DePaul Dodgeball: putting the LAUGHTER back in SLAUGHTER.
- Pictures will be taken. There is room for video capture on the track (but no tripods, just claws). Bring your own camera people if you want it.
- There are room for spectators if you really want them, but they must check in/waiverize themselves.
