I recently played in the member championship series at Ace. The event was top notch. Upon check in, I received a nice t-shirt and a schedule of my event and times etc. The event ran as planned. There were open courts to warm up which was nice. Sandwiches, chips and drinks were served upstairs. Following the event, they awarded very nice medals and winners hats. The staff at Ace always is friendly and accomodating, whether you are a beginner or the best player in the world!
