SPORTSMANSHIP AT BROADSTONE JR. EXCELLENCE FOR PLAYERS & NON-PLAYERS
The tournament staff and the officials wish to provide a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all participants and non-players.
Players: please report to your match site on time and appropriately prepared for play. The Point Penalty System is in effect for lateness and for all inappropriate behavior such as but not limited to swearing, taunting, potential endangerment of others with balls or racket, harming equipment or courts, ball or racket abuse, verbal or physical abuse of a player or official, receipt of coaching, or other acts of poor sportsmanship. First offense is loss of point second offense is loss of game third offense is a default. No warning is necessary in USTA rules. For egregious acts of poor sportsmanship, a player may be defaulted summarily and will be out of all events at the tournament. This default may be appealed to the Tournament Appeals Committee within 15 minutes of the default, and the Tournament Appeals Committee’s decision is final.
All players will be playing under the Code, the PPS, and the NorCal Suspension Point System. All codes as well as inappropriate behavior and sportsmanship will be reported to NorCal for administration of suspension points. These penalties will apply to a player not only for his own acts but also for those acts of people associated with him, such as parents, coaches, and other spectators.
If a player feels that there is inappropriate behavior on or around their court from either his opponent or non-players, the player needs to stop play and come and get an official for assistance. The player needs to take responsibility for his match in this regard because the officials and staff cannot be everywhere. Players should always remember that a cardinal rule in tennis is that if any part of the ball touches the line, the ball is good. If there is any doubt in the player’s mind, the ball is good. If all players would adhere to this standard, then everyone will just play. Please call the ball the way in which you would want it called for yourself.
Non-Players: Please enjoy the matches and refrain from interjecting yourself into the matches. Encourage your player and be polite to his opponent. If your behavior is less than exemplary, you may be asked to leave the site. Remember that we are guests at all of the venues. The officials and staff are responsible for the grounds and the non-players. If it is perceived that you are interfering in a match, we will ask you to leave. Protection and safety of the players is one of our first priorities.
If you come and participate in this tournament, you have agreed to this stipulation. Thank you, and have a great tournament.

WITHDRAWALS
Written withdrawals after on-line entry closure will be accepted for illness or injury (medical note required), or personal emergency (stating reason) received prior to the Draw Meeting. Verbal withdrawals are not acceptable. Withdrawals must be in writing to the tournament director stating your name, division, and reason for withdrawal. Phone calls are fine to the tournament director until you have access to a computer but must be followed by an email or fax. NO refunds are given after entries close. Once the draw is published, suspension points are given for all walkovers, withdrawals, and defaults. A valid reason for the withdrawal or walkover will decrease the number of suspension points assessed. Withdrawals should be emailed to the Tournament Director (chrysa@sparetimeinc.com) and copied to the Tournament Referee (ckim410s@gmail.com).
