Little River, SC, Sept. 18, 2009 – In early 2009, TAP celebrated its 20th year in business. Over the last several months, marketing efforts have been underway to promote the TAP product, processes and procedures have been reviewed, and the implementation of such has begun. Currently, the focus is on the TAP licensees. Training programs are being used and developed, and an updated manual, business management tools, and reports through Pool Net—along with support licensee to licensee—will offer the TAP licensee what they need to run a successful TAP operation.
Because of these efforts, TAP is expanding their operations by recruiting new licensees in states they are not available in and in current states, in which several counties are still available.
In the past few months, the following new TAP Leagues have opened up their doors of operations and look forward to bringing TAP to the players in their respective territories:
