NEW FOR NC PLAYERS ONLY!! Junior Suspension Points for Failure to Complete a Tournament for NC players!! The number of players not completing all matches in a tournament is very high. There are numerous withdrawals once the draws are posted, and many walkovers in the consolation rounds. Although the penalty below is minor, those who consistently fail to complete a tournament will understand this is not acceptable. Failure to play a match is not fair to opponents, costly to an opponent, and not good sportsmanship. Because the NCTA realizes the importance of school to the players, a school exempt clause is included. (passed by NCTA Board 10/09) 1. After the tournament online deadline, failure for a NC junior player to complete a tournament for ANY reason other than retirement during a match due to injury = 1 Point. 2. Players may receive 1 point for main draw, 1 point for consolation and 1 point for doubles = 3 Points. 3. Points are cumulative in the Junior Suspension points system. 4. A notification letter is sent at 6 points. 5. A three month suspension will occur when 10 points are reached. Appeals at 10 points can be made to the grievance chairperson. Inclusion under Unsportsmanlike Conduct in the junior Suspension points tab. 6. To be exempt from the above, a player must notify the Tournament Director immediately at the conclusion of his/her Sunday play that they will be attending school, and will not be participating in play on Monday. The Tournament Director will send a list of those players who have requested this exemption to NC Tennis.

WITHDRAWALS If you need to withdraw before entries close, you must do so online. Click on “Edit Registration”, then “Withdraw.” You will need your original confirmation number. All withdrawals after entries close must both be sent in writing by e-mail to John@TrimpTennis.com and by phone to the tournament director (704-367-4980x1) once the tournament has started. Players withdrawing after the tournament deadline will not be refunded the entry fee.
