For 2023, we are excited to share the details we are planning for later this year…taking the show on the road to Florida and making use of the weekend after Thanksgiving weekend. That’s right, conference championship weekend with the Queso again. Please see the details below.

This year we are including all meals as part of the package and it’ll look something like this. The addition for all meals, including tax and service charges will be $164.39.  This minimizes logistics, administration, and keeps us onsite to minimize any transportation challenges or snafus once we’re there. Cash bar will be available both nights for alcoholic beverages.

Current Commitments

The current roster of commitments is at 54.  We are going to lock in at 60 and then build our waiting list from there and assess the opportunity to expand to 64 if necessary.  

Tee Times for Arrival/Departure Planning

The resort has committed to shotgun each round, Friday – 12 noon, Saturday – 8:30am and 1:30pm, Sunday – 8:30am. We need to be ready and loaded 30 minutes before each round. Take these times into account as you begin to plan arrival and departure times. Plan on arriving at the Resort on Thursday evening to be safe.

Tourney Gear Fees

With some advance planning and creative comps from the resort, we are hoping to minimize the tournament fees for this year. They have been $125 since I can remember and I’m currently targeting $75, pending final information on gear and the comp package from the resort. Once we finalize financials and as we always have, we’ll provide a full accounting prior to the event or shortly after.

Charitable Cause Recommendations and Selection

Now that we’re finalizing our plans for the year, we are happy to consider charitable causes to support this year. I know there have been many put forth and we welcome submissions once more. As always, any charitable contribution is entirely voluntary without any requirement or pre-set goals. For those choosing to, it’s simply a way to give back to something near and dear to someone in our Queso community. Bring on the recommendations!

Early/Late Departure

No special rates for early arrival or late departure – recommend we find something else nearby if you need it.

If you are interesting in joining us for Queso Cup 2023, please reach out to tournament organizers asap to get on the roster and on the distribution list for future communications.
