OVR Handbook 2011: 12. Directions to Event Sites | Contents | Next |
OVR-sanctioned tournaments, clinics, and courses are held in approximately 500 distinct sites, for which we support a rich database of addresses, directions, maps, and other site-specific information. Events publicized on the OVR website either include that information in context or provide convenient links, making it easy members to plan their schedules and trips. Following are summaries for three sites – the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the OhioNets Sports Complex, and Westerville South High School – that are special for the number of region-hosted events held at each. Additional information (hotels, links to additional maps and directions, etc.) and the full list of OVR event sites are available at www.ovr.org/sites/.
