First time for my 2017.
Is anyone familiar with how the check in process works in these perfect game tournaments. My son will be going to Ft Myers this coming weekend of the 9th. I'm interested in where they may be checking in, times and just general info.
Thank you.

Same for my 2017 catcher.
No check in for WWBA and other tournaments is required. Just coordinate with his coach and show up ready to play. All the check-in, roster finalization, etc. is done by the coach and/or online in advance. Individal check-in is only required for Showcases.
Edit: Here is the tournament link. This may be what you are looking for. Click around on the menu for teams, rosters, locations, schedules, etc. http://perfectgame.org/events/Default.aspx?event=2994

Don't overlook this detail:
BAT TYPE: Wood bat only. Must be composed of one solid piece of wood. Composite bats are not allowed.
Typically there's an envelope waiting for each team's coaches at the site of the first game.
Players have nothing they need to do except head to the field.
Thanks y'all. .
Thanks for sharing this thread with me 2ndMarDiv! I appreciate it! Checked in online with player's updated info and waivers are signed! Wood bats are on their way ahead of us. Very exciting! Good luck!
One additional question just occurred to me. I saw on the pg website it says all hotel bookings must be done through Lee County Housing. Can someone tell me if this is true. I found better deals on my own.

When I booked for teams, I would use their booking service. When I was booking my (and player's) rooms (i.e., not going as a team), I would always rent my own house or room outside of their system.
I will say that we once had trouble booking (as a team) through their site, so we booked team rooms outside of their service. I was contacted a short time before the tournament began and forced to pay a few hundred dollars in additional fees for not doing so. I don't recall if it was $200 or something more, but $200 rings a bell.

You are "supposed" to. I'm not a big fan of having to pay for a tourney and then book through them for a hotel, but it does make it easier to get large blocks of rooms so that teams can stay together. The only issue we have had in the past was when the parents weren't happy with the hotel we were assigned to, and reserved rooms at another. It was another hotel on the Lee County list, but we didn't go through them. Our coach got a "please don't do that" from PG, but I don't think there were any additional fees.
