This way sooooo many people don't hate you. <br /><br />When you see the forecast for rain all weekend long, this is what you need to do. Call lifetime and Brookhaven. Book 3 courts at each facility all day long. Place the men at one facility and the ladies at the other. Lifetime always has courts open and so does the barn. That shouldn't be a problem. Then you go from 7:00am to 10:30pm playing 1 set no add. Matces should take about 30-45 minutes and it might not even take that long. The clubs will charge you, but I'm sure each team would pay an extra $100 to get to play. I know my team would. And after listening to EVERYONE complain last night, I'm sure other teams would as well. This way we could have all played and enjoyed YOUR event. <br /><br />You need to start putting the tennis players first and not the money. I'm glad we donate tons of money to the organization. It's a great thing WE do. But, the more you keep treating the tennis players and events like crap, the more people will play out of Ft Worth. And I can guarantee you that if Ft Worth combo was this weekend, we would all be at TCU playing matches. <br /><br />From someone who knows how to run an event and puts there players first. <br /><br />FYI, all clubs had indoor courts open last night at the time of the matches. Even if you just use 1 court and get things going, we could have played. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-13597956119501959642016-08-20T06:28:16.842-05:002016-08-20T06:28:16.842-05:00The members weren't using the courts.
