I guess it's time for the USTA to reduce the draw size for the Super Nationals (National Championships) as the results from the National Championships in Mobile are in ... And they weren't pretty.
The main criteria used by the USTA for reducing draw sizes in the L2 and L3 tournaments was level of competition. They felt there were too many matches not considered close matches (4 & 4 is what they considered close). So by that rationale the super Nationals need to be reduced immediately to a 64 draw as only 22 of the 64 matches on the girls side and 19 of the 64 matches on the boys were competitive in first round action (again, according to THEIR criteria).
So all of you proponents of the reduction in L2 and L3 sizes, how do you feel about this? I mean you only want the best, right?
