Exemptions
Full Service Housing Required events require athletes to stay in partner hotel blocks. There are three exceptions to this requirement. Before submitting an exemption, please review the specific details explained below.
Make note: Select events have an expanded local radius or may have more approved exemptions than the list below. If your program is within the updated local radius, no action is required, as your gym is automatically considered local. If you qualify for an approved exemption not on the dropdown below, please select “living in close proximity,” and explain the exemption in the “additional information” box.
Events with an expanded radius are the following: Nation’s Choice Grand Nationals (Wisconsin Dells), ACA Grand Nationals (Fort Worth), USA All Star Grand Nationals (Anaheim), CANAM Grand Nationals (Myrtle Beach), Athletic Championships Chattanooga Nationals.
Exemptions for the 2023-2024 Season will not be accepted until the event is open for reservations. Please refer to our Housing Overview page linked HERE for dates. Any submissions prior to the corresponding opening dates will be disregarded.
