I was told by the tournament chair that it was a rule of the hotel, not a citywide regulation, hence why we have been able to have childcare at all the previous Las Vegas nationals. The oversight is picking a hotel which caters to the adult population as opposed to ...
I’m surprised that after the $hit show with the child care in Hawaii, that anyone would trust the ACBL to actually provide the child care they had “promised”. I certainly didn’t. I emailed the tournament chairs back in February, and I got an answer in April that there ...
