ATTENTION ALL SPECTATORS
(INCLUDES PARENTS, COACHES, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, ETC.)1. Any
attempt by a spectator to speak to the official in an abusive or
disrespectful manner regarding a line call or other ruling during
match play shall be cause for immediate removal from the playing
area and, if warranted, from the premises.
2. Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable towards a player,
other spectator or staff member shall be cause for immediate
removal from the playing area or the entire premises. If said
behavior is directed towards a player, either before, during or
after a tournament, it shall result in an automatic and immediate
suspension of that spectator's right to attend USTA Texas
tournaments, for a period of time to be determined by the USTA
Texas Discipline and Grievance Committee.
3. Refusal to adhere to a removal request shall trigger immediate
enforcement of the point penalty system against the player with
whom the spectator is involved (per point penalty system
regulations), including possible immediate default from the
tournament.
4. The On-Site Official is the SOLE judge regarding unacceptable
behavior.
Please Note: Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication,
whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event
is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach,

parent or coach is merely a spectator.
