3-MINUTE REST PERIOD
There is a mandatory 3 minute rest period after a second set when a match tiebreak is played in lieu of a third set. The 3 minute rest period begins at the end of the second set and should be timed by the official. A player who is not ready to play after the 3 minute rest break would receive a time violation. Should yet an additional 20 seconds pass without the player being ready, a code violation for delay of game would be issued. A junior player who needs a toilet/change or attire break should take it after the 3-minute rest period. However, a player who chooses to take a toilet/change of attire break during the 3-minute rest period waives the right to further coaching. A player has reasonable time to complete a toilet/change of attire break. Any player who does not take a toilet/change of attire break shall remain on court or in an area near the court designated by an official. No player may receive coaching during the toilet/change of attire break because coaching is limited to the 3-minute rest period.
