Hi Mark,
I was thinking about a WTT group, but I also have a web site thru work that I post info on about WTT. I was going to send an email blast to the data base I have (70 registered players) about this site. I want to think about your suggestion because I want to make sure I can manage what ever I start. I am sure its a good idea, its my ability to keep up with it the way I would like to that concerns me.
Best,
A

Mark, great idea here dig the interface of the site as well. As a pilot I travel a fair amount and love the idea of building a tennis network. In this day and age, a good tennis match shouldn't be more than a few mouse clicks away no matter where you are. Thanks for moving the tennis world in that direction.
Cheers,
Skeet

Hi Mark,

Just a suggestion. If it is possible to have listed under the name of members where they live in the U.S.?

We just have to remember to have everyone complete their draw by sunday. Is there away to advertise the game to people who don't post in the forum? It's going to be fun. It's also a great way to advertise the board:)

Hi Mark,

I posted the AO threads but I think I put them in the wrong category, sorry :(

Mark, 500 tonight thanks to the AO. By the time the AO is over 1000?

Earl Weldon

Hey, ... Mark, 500 members! ... that's worthy of some Congrats! Sounds like you found a good market. 500 members is nothing to sneeze at! I've enjoyed poking around the site a bit, seeing some videos.
I'm sure I haven't seen all there is to see yet.

(.... but that circular rooftop platform court in the Dubai hotel is incredible ... although perhaps a good example of someone having just TOO MUCH money on their hands!)

Anyway, glad the site is meeting with success. - Earl Weldon

Thanks Mark, great work. That's an awesome property in Culver City. Pre-fab? I'd love to get a line on some maybe lesser known courts in LA, thinking about joining Beverly Hills; can't beat the price.
cheers,
Alex

Hi Mark,

I am very excited to be connected to fellow Tennis lovers.I am, however, having trouble searching for members by State or City. Could you create advanced search options in the Member tab?

Id like to be able to find people to play with in my area.

Thanks!!! Awesome idea, once again.

sean

thanks for the warm welcome mark. yes, we need a brooklyn group, but i noticed that there isnt even a New York City group!!! Not to be a snob, but it's sort of surprising that there isn't one. This site is great. there's sort of too much to digest, but at least it's there for someone willing to sift through. let me know if i can help with anything.

Yeah, Bill is doing awesome! I expected to sink after round 3, my picks weren't so good after that round :(

Thanks for helping me test the issue I was having. Seems to be machine specific. Works okay now.

I don't know how to check for messages nor can I send them for some reason. Can you write a comment on my page instead?

Also, the pages take a long time to load (3-5 mins), I think there's too much stuff on each page. It's like a myspace page where there's just jumbles of information and it's too much.

Mark great site looks like your picture is at the balloon festival. I was just in Albq. last month for the holidays. My daughter enjoyed seeing the balloons up close on their weekend flight.

Hey Mark,

Jan 23, 2008
Joey

Only 10 more to go and that 1000 members will be met. I have sent out over 100 e-mails so it should be no time at all. It was good talking to you earlier and I think it should work out well for both of us!

Thanks, Mark. It's nice to be here. Found your site as a fluke on craigslist -- and glad that I did. Looks like your marketing is working...

You like the 'stache? I hear they're making a comeback. This is a co-opted image; got it from my friends over at RubberBall.com.

Very usable site you have here. I predict you'll be going places...
