Junior tournament in College Park this weekend

[DBBN]

My friend who works at the CPTC sent me the info:

"There will be a juniors "Futures" event July 14th-17th. Futures tournaments are the first stepping stone in local tournament play and the varied age divisions will be using eight of the outdoor hard courts all day on the weekend and in the evenings on Monday and Tuesday of next week. There are currently over 100 young juniors registered to play in the this event!"

Does anyone know where I could find info about it? Which organization is running this thing? How crappy are these players going to be?

Sorry, it's the TCCP. Snobs.

"Tennis Center at College Park" must be running their own event -- maybe in conjunction with some county or city program? It's not an ITF or USTA thing. I'd guess the tennis will be really bad, but the tennis parents will be of the same caliber as seen on the Tour. You'll see a lot of UEs, whining, and blatant cheating oncourt, and maybe some fistfights between dads in the stands. But that's only a guess!

For more info I would phone the tennis center itself. They haven't bothered to mention this thing on their web site. But last year's challenger held there IS mentioned.

Pass.

I know; it sounds like a nightmare. Lousy replacement for that $75K.
