The most important differences from USTA rules include: (1) OFFICIAL may only overrule on PLAYER APPEAL; (2) MEN play LET SERVES; (3) There are no bathroom breaks in MEN's ITA, but the official will inform of extra time allowed on change-overs or set-breaks; (4) MEN only are assessed a POINT for a MTO (Medical Time Out), however there is no point for treatment on change-overs.
