The City of San Antone needs to get with the program...then again I have never been too enthralled with the place.

Don't take what Larry said too literally. There are rooms available for those traveling from out of the area, at other officials' houses and at the local AFB's. (There just isn't a motel/hotel budget.) The folks that run the umpire organization there are great folk, but their hands are pretty much tied by the people who are putting on this tournament as to the pay.
