Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA
Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has
established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as
clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a
player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will
be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized
for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."
ATTENTION ALL SPECTATORS
(INCLUDES PARENTS, COACHES, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, ETC.)
In an effort to promote a more enjoyable and fair experience for
all, the following policy is in immediate force and effect, and
shall be diligently and stringently enforced. USTA Texas has
implemented a "ZERO TOLERANCE" policy for improper behavior.
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.
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, etc. does not endow
special privileges.
