This means Veteran players may have to get two different hotel roms since Ontario was 35 miles away from LA & given LA traffic it is a nuisance ?
All this of course assuming that 2022 ITTF World Veterans Tour LA will even take place

Also I am not even sure if anyone is even playing in the ITTF Pro Tour events at all , because if look at the ITTF Veterans tour page for 8 to 11 September 2022 at Otocec, Slovenia , noone seems to have signed up

Another crazy thing I noticed was that as to how many people even know in which country cities like Djerba, Loutraki & Otocec are located. (I of course know one can Google it but it is weird they don’t state that on ITTF webpage) .

I wonder if it would make more sense if they had it like regular WTT tour with 3 or 4 tour events in nearby countries (in each continent or possibly neighbouring continent) each one 3 or 4 days after one another. Many veterans may enjoy this type of format where they can use TT as an excuse to visit multiple countries.

It seems to me that the current ITTF Pro tour format is not that successful I know COVID caused cancellations in 2020 but in 2022 it does not look good. Maybe USATT already has inside information that ITTF Vet Tour in LA will be cancelled or something
