If the Winter Meeting is all about planning for the year ahead, part of that planning is establishing bragging rights. After all, those are good until the next slow season too.

With that in mind, tennis players of ASBA hit the Aruba Racquet Club for ASBA's Winter Meeting Tennis Tournament, and for several hours, it was all about friendly competition. There was plenty of sun, plenty of wind, plenty of good-natured kidding, and plenty of good play. Ultimately, the battle for first ended with Chris Allen (Aer-Flo, Inc., Oneco, Florida) and Ben Brooks (Patriot Court Systems, Houston, Texas) emerging triumphant.

Har-Tru (Charlottesville, Virginia) sponsored the event, which also drew spectators from among the meeting attendees.

While this year did not feature a competitive golf tournament, there was a golf outing. The outing was held at the Tierra del Sol.

Those who are reading this article and thinking they want their own shot at the title, the bragging rights and the chance to unwind and enjoy the company of colleagues and co-workers should mark their calendars for ASBA's Technical Meeting. The meeting, which will run November 30-December 3 of this year in Orlando, Florida, will bring another chance to hit the courts and the links.
