Withdrawal Policy
If a player withdraws or defaults (for
reason other than illness or injury) from any sanctioned tournament in the
Southwest Section (L3-L6), after entries close, that player will be assessed
4 suspension points unless medical documentation of the injury or illness
is provided to the Tournament Director AND Southwest Section Junior Player
Development Manager within 48 hours after the completion of the
tournament.
"Player
shall not enter tournament player cannot finish. Player shall
not enter a tournament (including mandatory consolation) knowing the player
will be unable to finish." p119 Friend at Court
In theory, the Junior Competition
Committee feels that it is important to adopt and strongly enforce National’s
ruling on the Suspension Point System.
In recent years, several players have been pulling out of tournaments,
especially L3-5 events, on the final day of competition or once a player is in
the back draw.
