That IS kind of a tricky situation. You want a date to the game and likely to spend time with after, but don't want to end up on a long date with someone you don't like (or who doesn't like you!), but (if I'm interpreting correctly) you haven't met anyone in DFW yet.
If at all possible, I suggest meeting your top choice as soon as you get here for a shorter date that is also long enough to get to know each other some during non-BCD time -- I'd suggest two hours minimum. Mention that you're possibly interested in the 4 - 6 hour game date or an overnight, but you want to make sure you have personal
and BCD chemistry first -- which I'm sure she'll appreciate knowing beforehand as well. Then, if you hit it off, you can invite her for the longer date.
Keep a few other ladies in mind in case your favorite lady ends up being a not-so-favorite (or she decides she's not that into you/can't go to the game/etc.), and perhaps try to meet one or two of them on Friday or Saturday night.
Well before you get here, contact the lady who looks to be your favorite and hammer out as many details as possible: how much she asks for 4 and 6 hour dates and her overnight rate, will she likely be free to meet for the game/overnight, will she want a deposit for a longer date beforehand to reserve the time, what would you both agree is fair to do financially if you realize after/during the game that it's not going well, how will you handle the finances if you decide you want to extend the 4 hour date to 6 hours or an overnight, etc. Every lady handles these things differently; it's really something the two of you will need to discuss. You may or may not want to do the same with your "Plan B" ladies -- but try not to get their hopes up/waste their time if you are fairly certain Plan A is going to work out. And don't tell them they're Plans B; there's just no way to say that without it sounding insulting.
Oh, and make sure she likes basketball!
