TAP’s best of
the best from all over the USA and Canada were getting ready for this TAP
National event, when Hurricane Sandy came ashore. What it revealed was several type of
Champions, those that irregardless of what they had endured were coming to
Nationals, those that were not affected reaching out to those that were and
those that could not make it due to the devastation she played on their lives
had endured and survived revealing the real hearts of the Champions they all
are.
The Nationals
went as scheduled, but it never left the TAP families mind of what each and
every champion had gone through and continued to go thru as we were having the
event.. Plans are being made to reach
out to our brothers and sisters who could not be with us, in the weeks and
months to come.

advancements in computer technology for amateur players and new formats, in an
