Sub-block
What is a sub-block in hotel room block management?
A subdivision of a larger room block allocated to a specific group, team, department, or attendee category — tracked separately while still rolling up to the master block. Sub-blocks let a coordinator hand each department lead or team manager responsibility for their own rooms — their own allocation, their own names, their own pickup — without losing the consolidated view of the whole event. In sports and citywide events especially, a single hotel block may hold dozens of sub-blocks, one per team or club. Managing them well means per-sub-block pickup and cutoff tracking, so a shortfall in one group is visible against the overall attrition commitment. Sub-blocks are how large, multi-group programs stay organized without fragmenting into separate contracts.
