Pacific Northwest Tennis Officials Association

Section championships began in June; here is a link for the PNW schedule. USTA Pacific Northwest Section Championships Schedule | USTA

My team didn’t even make it to playoffs this year, so I’m really looking forward to officiating during Sectionals and just being involved. I prefer my assignment to follow one level from the 1st round through to the final; although I’m sure that is not always possible. The benefits and drawbacks to that idea for both players and officials could be equally debatable. What do you think?

I’m a rookie official – less than 3 years experience and I’ve got even less experience as a blogger, so quite naturally I have accepted the responsibility of blogging for the entire Pacific Northwest section. I offer my apologies to no one because… I was told at my first Official’s Sunday school that I will make mistakes – they expect me to make mistakes – perhaps even huge mistakes; so, just as I leapt into officiating, so I leap into blogging for our section.

You can expect to find information in this bi-monthly blog I hope will be useful and, at times, humorous.

If you have ideas for an entry, please let me know and feel free to leave comments.
