I know many have made negative commits about the service, organization, quality, etc about the tournaments held at the Village off & on over the last year.<BR/><BR/>I played (4.0 doubles) in a tournament this pass weekend at the Village (Village Classic) and the tournament was a lot of fun. It appears that Steve Franklin is working hard at increasing the quality of the tournaments. The tournament added a consolation bracket to the doubles draws, increase communications (about start times, recording scores, etc), increase number of officials and provided a Keg of beer for all adult players.John Kraemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962284735857093437noreply@blogger.com
