Effective 1-1-2018: NTRP TX Sanctioned players are required
to Self Rate, if they have no rating. If a player enters and plays
a TX Sanctioned tournament levels division with a "0.0" rating,
they will be notified that Self Ratings are now required for play
in levels divisions in Texas Sanctioned Tournaments. A player
violating this rule by playing in a levels division in a second
sanctioned tournament without a self rating will receive an
automatic 30 day suspension and any points earned from those
tournaments will be removed.
Adult / Senior / Super Senior players and teams:
USTA rules state that in a Round Robin draw, "a player who is
defaulted for any reason other than lateness shall not play in
subsequent matches and may not be declared the winner of the
round robin." [Friend at Court Reg. II.B.6.d.] Therefore, if a
player or team defaults, they will not be allowed to play the
Rounds following that defaulted match, and if subsequent matches
are played, the draw will be changed to show default(s) which will
result in win(s) for the opposing player(s) or team(s).
No-Show Defaults: If a player does not send written notice
that they will need to default a match, to the Tournament Director
at least one hour before the date and time of the scheduled match,
the defaulting player will receive 5 Suspension Points.
