ITA Rules and format will be used for the ITA Summer Circuit events. Please follow the link below to the ITA Rule Book. 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 forfeit a POINT for a MTO (Medical Time Out), however there is no point for treatment on change-overs. Familiarize yourself with all ITA rules using the link to the ITA Tennis website. more info
