The big "deadline day" for tennis officials is tomorrow--and things aren't looking good. All we have done this week is try to answer calls for help from officials all over the country who either can't log on to the exams or can't get their scores recorded. The worst crisis is the seeming inability of the USTA to get people into the Nucula system. Here are some of the various feelings and then our shot at the "solution."
Crying is the most common response but it doesn't do much good. It does however cleanse the sinuses and make us feel better so go for it!
Throwing up sometimes helps but use it as a last resort...
Whining is really good but you have to have friends who are willing to join you. Noone in authority will even give a hoot in hell if you are a whiner.
Getting mad and being overcome with disgust seems to be a popular option.
The most popular option by far! We're going to see an exodus of officials like we have never seen before if they don't get this thing fixed!
Just lean way back and pull your legs up and tell them kiss your butt. My favorite solution but will probably get you into trouble...
This would be our advice--but it often falls on deaf ears. You may end up being decertified and have to come back as a dreaded "provisional" but at least there is hope...
Here is our SOLUTION:
Call Julio Echevarria (914 696 7280) or Bruce Sampley (817 371 1061) and keep calling until they answer. They are the only two I know of who can actually solve your problems.
Good luck! You are going to need it come tomorrow...
