SATURDAY,

Total Revamp of OhioTennisZone Should Make Everyone Happy!

Numbers are hard and losing isn't very much fun. Sound familiar?

The entire graphics team of OhioTennisZone feels your pain and has been working overtime to solve this problem. Beginning today, OhioTennisZone will eliminate most numbers and use emojis to indicate scores rather than using those confusing numbers that no one really understands. [Editor's note: Today's update was written by the OhioTennisZone.com's Graphics Division. This group feels as if they were wrongly treated in an article that was written about this time last year.]

Since the word "losing" has negative connotations, from now on OhioTennisZone will use the term, "not the winner". Wins will be reflected by the symbol on the top. The person(s) who was not the winner will be indicated by the symbol on the bottom.

Most people are familiar with the symbol associated with winning but not the "not the winner" symbol. Rather than use an unside down smile to depict this player, the graphics team felt strongly that the symbol should reflect a person who may have still won the match had it used a different type of scoring system (i.e. Division I college tennis). The graphics team has worked past 2:00pm on more than one Friday and has spent even more time thinking about it to come up with these exciting new symbols.

There was only one match recorded yesterday. It was Cincinnati Country Day Happy! versus Walnut Hills Not as Happy. Click on each team to see the individual results.

Today's matches include: Columbus Academy (A) versus Walsh Jesuit; St John's Jesuit (H) versus St. Ignatius; and St. Xavier (A) versus St. Ignatius.

Happy holiday.

SUNDAY,

COUP UNSUCCESSFUL - OTZ GRAPHICS DEPARTMENT NOW Not the Winner

COLUMBUS, OH (OTZ) After an increasing number of angry customer calls, the OTZ Grammar Police, Data Department, and Writers sprang into action against the OTZ Graphics Department. Using unauthorized force, the OTZ Grammar Police brutally ended the coup by the Graphics Department, and the OTZ Data Department restored the service as it was before. [Editor's Note: To be completely honest, the OTZ Grammar Police is always authorized to use unauthorized force.]

Preparations to end the coup started early in the day as the OTZ Grammar Police assembled its forces. At 11:01 pm they forced a window open on the fourth floor to take the OTZ Graphics department by surprise in the break room. (Absolutely no one was surprised that they were in the break room.) After that, the Data Department, armed with Excel spreadsheets and computer mice, worked their magic to remove the irritating emojis and to restore numbers to OTZ..
