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. With the only exception of the right to remove their
own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely
a spectator.2018 USTA Texas "No Late Entries" Policy for Juniors
