Reserve Your Competition Hotel Room
Competition Dates: February 27 - March 1
This is for people that signed up already
From the competition coordinators
At this point, about half of our reserved rooms have already been booked, and availability is moving quickly. If you’re planning to attend BDMT and have not yet secured your hotel, we strongly encourage you to book as soon as possible while rooms are still available at the group rate. (January 17th = Cut-Off Date for Discounted Pricing)
Booking early also helps us gauge demand—if needed, it allows us time to request additional rooms before availability becomes limited due to other major events happening that weekend.
If you have questions or need assistance with lodging, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Hotel Details Below:
Wyndham Garden Austin — located just 10 miles from the competition venue (3401 S IH-35, Austin, TX 78741)

PARKING REMINDERS
Reserve Parking
We ask that these first two parking spots be left open and available to Pedro, Jessica and Reeses. Sometimes we stay very late and leave the studio alone. Sometimes we may come during another class. Either way it would be nice if we didn't need to walk far to our vehicles especially if we are alone in the dark.
DO NOT PARK HERE EITHER
The end of the block is meant for the people who live at 1345 Plowman Ave.
Do not park here on ANY day.
It is embarrassing to me that they need to come tell us someone from our group has parked in their spots AGAIN.
THEY WILL HAVE YOU TOWED OR BLOCK YOU IN!!!
and I will not blame them!
