Thanks for every ones participation. It was our first self run tournament in years and we have to smooth out the wrinkles. We will appreciate any ones constructive comments on how to run it better. I took a lot of notes from players. Obviously, we need a longer lead time and stronger marketing of our event. I think all of us would want greater out of town attendance so that we are getting to play different players than we usually meet. Please give me your suggestions

Pros:
– Great facility (must do more to get out the word)
– Very friendly staff

Cons:
– No posted draws
– Score sheets were incorrectly prepared
– Tournament Referee (if there was one) didn’t caught people wearing white shirts.

Suggestions:
– Use Omnipong for management and entries. Seeing other entries in advance helps in coordinating double partners, carpools etc.
– Place a little ad on USTTA site to attract more players
– Prepare a little flyer and distribute at other clubs and events
