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!
