Thank You to all Participants and Congratulations to all Division Winners and Elijah Hadler- 2017 Boys 12 Champion & Sportsmanship Award Winner!
The Cleveland Racquet Club is one of the premier tennis clubs in Northeastern Ohio and is known for running a professional well attended tournament. We do enforce a 90% white attire dress code. ALL Players: USTA PLAYER OATH: I RECOGNIZE THAT TENNIS IS A SPORT THAT PLACES THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAIR PLAY ON ME. I PROMISE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THE GAME, WHICH REQUIRE TO GIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT TO MY OPPONENT. AT ALL TIMES I SHALL STRIVE TO COMPETE WITH THE TRUE SPIRIT OF SPORTSMANSHIP, RECOGNIZING THAT MY BEHAVIOR ON THE COURT IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF MY CHARACTER. WHETHER THIS MATCH ENDS WITH MY VICTORY OR DEFEAT, I PROMISE TO CONDUCT MYSELF IN A WAY THAT HONORS MY OPPONENT, THOSE WHO SUPPORT ME, AND THE GAME OF TENNIS. Guidelines: We are available to settle a scoring dispute or other concerns. However our job is not to lines judge matches. As you take the above "Oath" apply the 3 Call Rule: 1st questionable call- give your opponent the benefit of the doubt. 2nd questionable call put them on notice-I" will get a lines judge if this continues." 3rd questionable call/Raise your racquet and request a lines judge. If a lines judge does not see any issues, they will continue to observe other courts.
