"Unqualified" Partner or official

[Man In Blue]

My basic rule for tournaments and team camps:

1. Paid certified officials (at least a majority of them)

2. Training staff available before during and after games.

3. Maximum games for tournament fee.

4. Full size courts that are age appropriate.

I am tired of groups earning money, "big money" running tournaments that do not meet these basic qualifications. It is our fault as coach/ parents for entering poorly run tournaments just to play. Skip a few bad tournaments and do a little more practice and teaching and everyone will be better off.
