One Date, No Published Clock
The NCA Holiday Classic runs on December 13, 2026 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas. The venue lists Exhibit Hall C and C Ballroom, classes the event as a Sporting Event, and prints Event Starts TBA beside the date.
Varsity’s all-star card carries the same single day. It reads NCA - Holiday - Classic - DI/DII, Dallas, TX, 12/13/2026 to 12/13/2026, and the Thursday doors field prints empty.
December 13, 2026 is a Sunday. A family or a coach has a fixed date and no published hour.
The Four Slots hotelSlots Sells
hotelslots.org books four windows: Morning 6AM-12PM, Afternoon 12PM-6PM, Evening 6PM-12AM, Overnight 12AM-6AM. A guest takes one slot or combines several into a longer stay.
A competition day that runs from the morning into the afternoon fits the Morning and Afternoon pair. That pair puts a team in a room from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and ends the bill with the day.
The Building’s Published Amenities
The Building Amenities page prints free Wi-Fi in all common areas and meeting rooms on a network named Free Internet. The same page states that the facility has no on-site business center and names the UPS Business Center at the adjacent Omni Dallas Hotel for printing and shipping.
The building is cashless, and select event exhibitors may accept cash. ATMs sit at Level 2, A Lobby and Level 2, C Lobby. Kay’s Place and Go Natural, the two Level 2 counters in C Lobby, run hours that vary by event.
Parking Priced Per Entry
ACE Parking runs the garage and Lot C. The garage charges $20 and holds 1,200 spots across two levels at Memorial Drive and South Griffin Street. Lot C charges $17 and holds 170 spots at 502 South Lamar Street. Both are first-come, first-served and priced per day, per entry, with no in and out.
That rule ties the room to the parking. A driver who leaves the garage to change and returns pays a second entry.

Booking Against a Blank Field
Ask NCA for the doors hour before you commit a window. Varsity Spirit customer service answers at 800-533-8022.
Book the earliest opening window inside reach and hold it until the organiser answers. An 8 a.m. window puts a guest in a room before any plausible doors call and covers a team arriving off a morning flight.
Carry a card into the hall. The Level 2 ATMs are the fallback for a guest who arrives with cash.
