<p>I haven't spent much time in Canada, other than in Vancouver and Toronto on business, but I enjoyed every visit.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently we have experienced a lot of interest on our networks from our friends above our northern border. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My problem is, because the items we ship are so light, but can consume quite substantial packaging space, we are having difficulty finding economical standard shipping across the border. I don't want you spending half the value of your order on shipping based on our standard shipping scenario.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is why we are asking you to go ahead and visit </span><a href="http://3rdtoad.com/Shop" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Motto Shop</b></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, find what you like, and </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://3rdtoad.com/Shop/Contact_Us.php">contact</a></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> or call us at 803-553-5757 so that we may find the most economical way to get your tennis apparel and accessories to you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will work on an easier and more economical solution in the meantime.</span></p>
<p></p> Wimbledon 2013 BOTB (Replacement) Bracket Competition is on!tag:tennisopolis.com,2013-06-21:1869403:Topic:10543142013-06-21T20:59:37.087ZTennis Fanhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/TennisFan

<p>You like brackets? Do you normally participate in Fantasy Tennis competitions? Have you ever taken on the ATP Draw Challenge? If you answered yes to any of the above, keep reading!</p>

<p>So, as some of you may know, BOTB (Battle of the Boards) is not running until further notice. But, not to worry! I'm running a replacement BOTB competition in its absence. The rules are the same with a few minor differences, a few extras and a few things missing (for…</p>

<p>So, as some of you may know, BOTB (Battle of the Boards) is not running until further notice. But, not to worry! I'm running a replacement BOTB competition in its absence. The rules are the same with a few minor differences, a few extras and a few things missing (for now).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Tennisopolis has had a lot of participants in the past but not so much lately and with BOTB competitions and notices for them being less frequent of late, that's a bit understandable but I hope the numbers will increase again!</p>
<p></p>
<p>The entry form is available at <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://t3nnisstats.webs.com/" target="_blank">T3nnisStats</a>!</strong> You have until Monday before play starts to make your picks. ;)</p>
<p></p>
<p>I hope you'll participate! The more the merrier!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>I remember it like it was yesterday.</p>
<p><br></br>I was 11. I was in a tournament and I hit a winner around the net post. The opponent complained and said it wasn't fair. I said "fine, let's take this argument to the tournament director." The director said that we should replay the point. I told him that I knew the rules and this ruling is incorrect. I asked him to look it up in the rule book. HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE RULE BOOK THERE! </p>

<p>Needless to say, I lost the next point and never mentally recovered. I was 11 after all. I'm getting pissed off just thinking about it!<br/><br/></p>
