With the Championship Banquet just around the corner on Dec. 2, many competitors are making plans to head to Springfield, Il to receive awards, or support their friends.  You should make your banquet reservations for the dinner today, using the Series website.   ALL dinner reservations must be done in advance.  You can also make a hotel reservation at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield.  The link below is to our group room rate of $92/night, whic should be good through Nov. 27th.  As of today, the current market room rate is $90/night online, but expect this to increase as the date draws near.  The Holiday Inn Express is right next door, and there are several other nice hotels nearby, including the Candlewood, which is very nice and is listed for $69/night.  The Country Inn & Suites on Stevenson Drive is also newer, very nice, and is listed at $68/night as of this posting.  All those prices are subject to change, so book early.
