General Tournament Information

Berkeley tournaments are typically hosted in Barrows Hall. Here is a campus map showing the location of Barrows. This map shows the layout of the 1st floor of Barrows. Usually most of the tournament rooms are in the 180-186-190-192 area of the building.

Getting to Berkeley:

(Note: these directions take you to Bancroft and Telegraph on the south side of campus, the closest intersection to Barrows. Depending on where you're parking, you may want to end up somewhere slightly different. See the parking information below.)

• From Stanford or other points in the southern Bay Area: Cross the Dumbarton Bridge and take 880 North. Continue on 880 until you reach the 980 interchange; take 980 East. Continue on 980 as it turns into 24 East. Take the Martin Luther King/51st exit and take the right branch onto 51st. Continue to Telegraph and turn left. Take Telegraph all the way to campus.
• From Southern California: Take I-5 North until you reach 580. Take 580 West for quite a while until you reach the 13 exit. Take 13 North until it ends (when you reach the 24/13 interchange, stay on 13; it'll change into a surface street). Continue until you reach College, at which point turn right. Take College all the way down to Bancroft, and turn left until you reach Telegraph and Bancroft.
• From points east: Take I-80 West. Continue until you reach the University Ave. exit. Take the exit and proceed east on Univesity. Take University all the way down until you reach campus at Oxford. Turn right on Oxford, then left on Durant, and left on Telegraph.

Parking at Berkeley:

Parking on or near campus is not an easy process. You have three main options:

• Park on campus outside Barrows. This involves parking on Barrow Lane or the streets near it (see this map for detail); be sure not to park in the police zone, because that would be bad. If you successfully find a spot, you'll need to get a permit from the nearby dispenser, which claims to be $7. (Make sure you choose the non-permit-holder option.) There are a very limited number of spots in this area, so don't expect to get one.
• Park in one of the campus parking lots. The nearest is Parking Structure B (see this map for detail). Then you will also need to get a permit from the dispenser, which also claims to be $7.
• Try parking on the street. Beware! The areas nearest campus have a 2-hour limit even on Saturdays, so you'll need to get farther away in order to find areas which are exempt from the 2-hour limit on Saturdays. This method is also very time-consuming and offers no guarantee of success; I would allot at least 25 minutes extra if you choose this option. On the other hand, it is free.

Food at Berkeley:

In marked contrast to parking, food is nearby, plentiful, and cheap. The best place to go is the block of Durant (one block south of Bancroft) between Telegraph and Bowditch; see this map for location. There is a wide variety of food places located along this stretch, including a food court midway down the block, which should satisfy even the most selective person.
