UCC will be held at the American Airlines Training Conference Center in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. There will be guest rooms available for $69.99 per night (note: they will only accommodate two people as they are smaller in size). There are single bed and double bed rooms. Be sure to mention that you are attending the ‘UPPER’-Cut Championship video game tournament in order to get the room deal.
The main room has over 3500 square feet of space. There are other open areas as well for registration and sponsors that puts the available space over 5,500 square feet.
There is an onsite cafeteria with very reasonably priced fair, an onsite bar located just next to the outdoor pool. There are also other restaurants within a short distance from the venue.
Check out their website for all the amenities they offer. It is quite a spectacular place.
