This is a petition to the Mississippi High School Activities Association, to completely reevaluate its view and rules for the sport of tennis in the state of Mississippi.
My children have been participating in the State tournament the past seven years and I believe it has been held in Jackson each year. Those to the North and South of Jackson have been burdened with the expense of travel, accommodations,food etc. Further, the "home court" advantage naturally enjoyed by those who live in Jackson and are familiar with the clubs, courts, officials etc seems to have been abused.I know the Ms Gulf Coast has hosted many large tournaments and I assume other locales,in the North,have as well. Why not rotate the location of the Championship? Something needs to be done. Thank you.

Length of time definitely needs to be changed. Seeding and how matches are played as well.

I guess the rules don't apply to you if you live in a certain area.

SCHEDULES, NEED FOR MORE DIGITAL USE IN EMAIL ETC, ALSO SEEDING IS VERY QUESTIONABLE.
