Day-Use Windows Around a One-Day January Championship

Victory Athletics Spirit holds the Checkered Flag Championship in Exhibit Hall A on January 9, 2027 at a 450 forecast, and the Indianapolis day-room benchmark publishes at $87.43.

The Date and the Two Rooms

Victory Athletics Spirit holds the Checkered Flag Championship in Exhibit Hall A at the Indiana Convention Center on Saturday, January 9, 2027. The venue's events calendar carries a forecast attendance of 450 on the row.

The same calendar carries a second event on the date. The Whitetail Film Tour runs in Wabash Ballroom 1-2 at a forecast of 300.

The organiser publishes no doors time and no session clock for the championship. The venue's calendar export for the date runs the all-day default.

Where a Day-Use Window Sits

One competition day sets the demand a day-use seller can read. A family that drives in on the Saturday morning reaches downtown before the standard afternoon check-in hour. A coach between sessions needs a desk and a shower for an afternoon.

Dayuse.com publishes the Indianapolis benchmark on its hourly-hotels page. The page gives an average day-room price of $87.43 in the city.

hotelSlots.org publishes four time slots on its home page: morning 6AM-12PM, afternoon 12PM-6PM, evening 6PM-12AM and overnight 12AM-6AM. Its day-use page states day-use rates run 40 to 60 percent below overnight rates, and the home page states 30 to 75 percent. Both pages belong to the operator of that platform, so price the property's own rate against them.

The Downtown Base Under the Window

The venue's footer publishes 7,100 hotel rooms in downtown Indianapolis and 4,700 rooms connected to the Convention Center by skywalks. The day-use inventory a seller can offer sits inside that base, and the venue publishes no day-use count of its own.

The January Calendar Around the Date

The venue's calendar carries eight events in January 2027. The forecast across the rows totals 32,500.

Victory Athletics Spirit and the Whitetail Film Tour hold January 9, at 450 and 300. Youth Rally and Mass Service holds Exhibit Hall J on January 20 at 1,500. The Central Zone Invitational runs January 23 and 24 across Exhibit Hall A-K at 20,000. Dot Foods holds its national business meeting January 27 to 29 at 2,000. Three rows share January 29 to 31: the Circle of Stars Gymnastics Invitational at 5,000 in Exhibit Hall I-K, the RxHealing sales convention at 2,000, and The Indianapolis Royal Weekend at 1,250.

The two January 9 rows hold 750 of the month's 32,500 forecast, or 2.3 percent. The heaviest stretch sits 20 days after the date, across January 29 to 31, at 8,250.

The calendar carries one labelling fault. The Dot Foods row places itself on January 27 to 29, 2026 in its own text while the feed dates it 2027.

What the Organiser Publishes

The organiser publishes no housing page, no property list and no room block for the date. Its registration system answers behind a login at regchamp.com.

Its policy pages carry the fees that date the group's own work. A $125 late fee applies from the tenth day before the event, which falls on December 30, 2026. A second $125 applies to a payment taken on the Friday, the Saturday, the day before or the day of the event. A $100 change fee applies to a division, level or score sheet change requested after the first preliminary schedule goes out eight days prior, on January 1, 2027.

The organiser publishes no draw radius and no travel-mode split. The venue publishes more than 70,000 parking spaces downtown, and Denison Parking operates every Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium lot.

The Read on the Saturday

One Saturday carries a 450 forecast and a 300 forecast in the same building. The organiser publishes no doors time, so a day-use seller holds one likely window and no confirmed clock. The next venue booking sits 11 days later, on January 20.
