This occurs every year the last week of February. (Refer to years past and you will see a dramatic change as well).

And now this is a joke down in Alabama. But, the new younger parents don't even know about March Nationals now. Nor Copper Bowl, Southern Open, Texas Open, etc. <br />The USTA just continues to ruin our game. 4 star players are in a gold ball team event. What a disgrace to the gold ball concept.

I can't tell you how many USTA junior tournaments we have been to where they decide to "shorten" the tournament ( although i paid over a $100 tournament fee) by getting rid of the 3rd set and making it a tie breaker even though it says it will be 3 sets. This is indoors btw where the rush was they wanted to sell the courts to adults. Any complaints to Eastern fell on deaf ears.Tennis dadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-304693437169817942015-03-08T11:30:38.408-04:002015-03-08T11:30:38.408-04:00Coach Kriese cares about the long term effect of t...Coach Kriese cares about the long term effect of this ridiculous scoring system.
