A tournament is won before it starts
The difference between a tournament that sells out on its own the following year and one that never comes back is almost never on court: it is whether the draw was properly made, whether the schedule held, whether there was water and shade, and whether the groups were balanced enough to produce close matches.
That backstage work is ours: registrations, the draw, a realistic schedule for the day, and refereeing. What the player notices is that everything simply runs.
