THIS TOURNAMENT IS A GREAT SPORTS EVENT
Tennis comes with a bloodline of sportsmanship that
few other sports can match. Even though there are officials roving the
courts, it is still an un-officiated sport. ·
Always give the
benefit of doubt to your opponent on a close line call.
·
Make calls
against yourself, such as a double-bounce or touching the net while the point
is in progress.
·
Call out the
score every point.
·
Congratulate
your opponent on great shots.
·
Parents – be
good sports outside the court.
·
And win or lose,
end the match with a removal of hats and a handshake at the net!
To reward the good sports at our tournament the
officials or directors will be handing out pins to players who exhibit great
sportsmanship and uphold the tradition of honor in our sport.
Good luck to everyone!
