The day appears to be coming when most tournament administration will be done on the Internet ― without mailings or telephone calls.  Here is a straightforward method of providing all relevant information about your event on its USTA web page.

• Use the Tournament Messages section on the General tab in TDM to create a series of paragraphs.

• Each Headline is displayed in bold as a caption to the message that follows.

• Use Headlines such as "General", "Conditions", "Consolations", "Awards", "Facilities", "Driving Directions" and "Motels".

• The content of Messages can be improved by adding coded symbols at key points. Letters inside the angle brackets <> are web directives for changing how text is displayed. The character string <p> causes a new paragraph to be displayed; the string <b> causes the following text to be displayed in bold. To end a web directive, use the same combination with a "/" preceding the letter, e.g. </b> ends the bold setting and reverts the display to regular font.

• As with all changes recorded in TDM, perform an Upload Tournament (Ctrl-U) to transmit the changes recorded on your PC to the Internet.
