Walking Directions to Prelim Sites

From Host Hotel to Net Prelims (McCormick Park South)

Note: the prelim net site is not officially named "McCormick Park South" -- we made that name up. That particular area of the park is unnamed -- it's actually the back yard of McCormick Place, and is above the underground parking garage, between McCormick and 31st Street.

Walk from the Hyatt lobby past the elevators south, it jogs east past a snack shop with fresh coffee, then jogs south again and through the Networks (internet) Cafe/Restaurant. Follow the signs to "Lake Michigan". Go to the South side of Lakeside Center (the big black building), and you can't miss the nets.

It's a 10-minute walk, unless you stop at Starbucks. :-)

From Host Hotel to Freestyle Prelims (McCormick Place East)

The freestyle prelim site is room E353-B in the Lakeside Building (3rd level), at McCormick Place East (also known as "Lakeside Center"). This will be basically the same directions as above, but you enter the Lakeside Building and go to the second floor and look for E353-B. We will try to post signs to make sure you can find it. More information will also be given at the players' meeting on Tuesday night, which is in a room (TBA) in the host hotel (see schedule above). Remember, freestylers are required to attend the players' meeting on Tuesday evening.

If you have problems: you can call Cory Current on the tournament cellphone at 312-446-2234.
