USTA is excited to announce USTA_Officiatingenhancements to our TDM software. The enhancements will allow for simpler management of non-elimination tournaments by utilizing the TDM Wizard.

Statement on PNW USTA Website Regarding Pending Litigation

Posted on October 28, 2013 by 10scorinne

I just read this statement on the USTA/PNW website today and thought I’d share it.

BEAVERTON, Ore. (September 18, 2013) – We were saddened to learn of the recent complaint filed by a certified official against USTA/PNW. The USTA/PNW has a longstanding reputation of promoting an inclusive culture in which individual differences are respected and valued as qualities that strengthen our tennis communities and contribute to promoting and developing the growth of tennis at every level in our Section. We are working with legal counsel to review the merits of this case.

Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage.–Charles Simmons
Please feel free to send your favorite pictures of our dear friend, Perry Hines, and I will add them to this slideshow.
