   Been a while since i posted here so i hope everyone is doing well.
After participating at 2023 Joola Teams i felt very conflicted with the venue and event organizers...

Ill briefly mention what i noticed and appreciated last year. The flooring was a good addition to most tables, more umpire availability for the players, and some other small things.

However the big issue i had last year (and years before that) was the lighting. Its such an important part of TT to rely on your eyesight and to have poor lighting conditions just hinders so much of our game. I know JOOLA isnt responsible for this but i hope this may reach the right audience which could possibly have the reach to improve on 2024 teams event.

The lighting was horrible, some tables were decently lit up but most were dark (especially ones next to support columns) and it was so hard to see the ball. For mid to low tier players (majority of the entries) that did not play on the semipro/pro tables were affected by these conditions.

Im on the fence about participating in this years event but im hoping the venue could improve on this. Its one of the few big team events thats close enough to majority of us in the north east where we can save time and money on transportation because of its location.

Just throwing out ideas, but maybe add some additional down lighting on the support columns for the tables next to them. 

Ive looked around for a suggestions email or a survey for the event organizers but couldn't find anything. Dont hesitate to suggest some ideas here. Thanks!
