1 Response to "About Me"Hi Neil!
Being an avid tennis enthusiast, I thought you might like to be one of the first bloggers to take an exclusive, in-depth look at a technology that is revolutionizing the tennis industry. Tencap Tennis has been offering its software to Tennis Clubs and leagues around the country for the last 18 months. Over this time, we have added more than 40,000 players to the system, and today, we launched our Public Portal, allowing tennis players anywhere in the world to create a free account, find compatible players, participate in leagues and ladders, and track their match results. Using a proprietary algorithm, results of play also allow players to earn a more precise rating, which in turn helps them find the most compatible players for their game. The Tencap ratings make the NTRP far more dynamic and accurate.
There will be an article in the latest issue of Tennis Magazine spotlighting the Tencap System. We'd love to give you the opportunity to tell your readers about it first.
