Dick Gorman NTRP Grand Prix Tournament Series

DickGormanIn 1991, with the advent of the NTRP Rating System, area pros along with the then NNMTA President, Dick Gorman, convened to discuss the development of the Grand Prix Tournament Circuit.  Dick Gorman organized and ran the series for almost twenty years, until his passing in November of 2010. Today, the series is run by the NNMTA Board and was officially renamed the Dick Gorman NTRP Grand Prix Tournament Series in honor of Dick.  These tournaments have permitted literally thousands of players to participate in high-quality, organized tennis for years.  Today, all Grand Prix division winners are recognized at the Annual NNMTA Party, hosted in the fall.  A Journeyman Trophy is awarded to the player that records the most points in the season and attends the most tournament events.  For more information on the series, contact Joe Felice at joeaccpro@comcast.net or Karen Amond at gashweseom@aol.com.
