RMTC Tournament Philosophy
At RMTC, we believe in giving all players, regardless
of level, a chance to play the same amount of tennis
regardless of results. In normal formats, tournaments
are set up such that players who succeed in early
rounds receive opportunities to play more matches
and acquire more experience. Players who don't
advance are not given this opportunity. This then
quickly widens the gap in competitive skill between
the players who get more matchplay opportunities
and players who don't. Ultimately, the more experienced players work themselves out of local competition much more quickly due to this gap. At RMTC,
we make it possible for less experienced players to
receive matchplay opportunities at the same rate as
players who advance in main draw competition. Our
goal is ultimately to afford each player that enters
our tournaments the same amount of competitive
experiences.

Competition
When players are exposed to the proper environment and given the opportunity to put forth effort,
competitive sports provide profound life-skills benefits. These benefits include physical, mental (perseverance, determination, coping skills, etc) and social
(cooperation, teamwork, friendships) development.
Not only is competition fantastic for children and
adults, but it is also tremendously fun!
