Scheduling was terrible, on some tournament days, 2 hours with all courts open. Please improve scheduling.

More communication
Most parents come far for the tournament and it is not nice to witness some loopholes. Yet I will appreciate the efforts from all organises and officials for their great commitment

It is getting worse year by year & the blame game between the organisers & TSA officials. Lack of planning based on the age categories. The first nightmare was the schedules which were not aligned & running late from day 1 to 3. Timeslots for draws are supposed to be out the night before however some on GS12 & GD14 were updated after noon on the day matches were scheduled. I have never come across such a mess & hoping that TSA will intervene during the Super 8. Starting matches under the lights should be reviewed & authorised by TSA based on the quality of the lighting.

This tournament was poorly organised—far too many players for too few courts. The times allocated to matches were completely unrealistic for 3 set matches, and the event ran late from the 1st round. The organisation of the doubles was a complete failure, and after waiting for MANY hours, some players were sent home with no doubles played at all. This poor organisation led to a lot of walkovers - which meant some players only got to play 2 or 3 matches out of the supposed 5 (let alone wasted travel and waiting around)
I sincerely hope GETA and TSA get their act together for the Super 8.

Last year in the same tournament the players could not finish their games because of too many players in one venue. This year we thought it will be better but no they now decide to delay matches by hours. People are scheduled to play late at night and again early in the morning the following day. I have never seen so many walkovers in a tournament, clearly people are now tired. This tournament was a nightmare. GETA and TSA must wake up and organise better next time if the intention is to grow the sport.
