Not sure if this has been covered on here or not, but per the USTA:

In 2012, all US Challengers will be required to feature live scoring.

Very good news!!

[Smoke944]

Nice. Also, isn't Dallas being upgraded into a 100k?

[gators0708]

Great! Pathetic that it took this long, I mean it is 2012.

[yesh222]

I'm pretty sure it was a legal thing to discourage livebetting until now.

I think I remember reading during Noumea challenger that they got a livescoring this year cos the ATP forces all the challengers to get one this year. I'm not sure about that but maybe all the challengers will get livescore this year

I remember they promised that for last year too and we didn't have livescore for all US challengers
Or am I wrong?... I may be

No way, many qualies and first/second turn Challenger matches even here in Northern Italy (Cordenons, Reggio Emilia (they made it a female tournament last year), Monza etc.) are played with no public at all, no ballboys etc.. When I saw Del Bonis vs. Koellerer two years ago there were something like 10 people in the public. To me it's pure science-fiction to have live scoring in all Challengers, and I don't want to imagine how is the situation in places as Fergana or São José do Rio Preto..

It looks like there are two Dallas Challengers. One in Feb and one in March.
Maybe this is a mistake. 100K and 125K+H

[TBarm7]

Yes, we(Challenger of Dallas) will be bumping up to a 100k, but the 125k Challenger will not be at our location. It will be in Irving TX, which is about 15 miles west of where the Challenger of Dallas is being held. The Irving Challenger is replacing Sunrise FL $125k.

Thanks TBarm for the details. All sounds like good news.

[Chip_s_m]

Wow that's awesome for those of us in Dallas. Thanks for the update TBarm and I'm looking forward to your tournament again! Do you know where the Irving tournament will be held?
