A MESSAGE FROM THE REFEREE REGARDING LATENESS- PLEASE READ!!
Lateness for tournament matches has been an increasing problem over the last year. this message will outline the norcal policies to which this tournament will strictly adhere: 1) it is the player’s responsibility, not that of the tournament, to know the time and location of each of his/her matches. failure to check in at the proper site at the proper time for a match will result in penalties as described below. showing up on time but at the wrong site will no longer be acceptable - nor will lateness because you have trouble finding the site. directions to the site are provided elsewhere on this page. be sure to allow yourself sufficient time to make it to your match. 2) lateness penalties are as follows: 0:00 to 5:00 minutes -1 game and loss of toss. 5:01 to 10:00 minutes - 2 games and loss of toss. 10:01 to 15:00 minutes - 3 games and loss of toss. over 15:00 minutes - default. this policy can be found in the norcal jr. handbook and in the usta friend at court (fac - available for purchase on the usta national website). note that usta-norcal has adopted the rule that the tournament does not have to have an empty court available in order to start the lateness clock - this deviates from the national rule found in the fac. the referee's clock is the official tournament clock for lateness purposes. 3) defaults for lateness will result in the assessment of 1 suspension point. no-show defaults will result in the assessment of 5 suspension points and automatic suspension from all tournament play for one month, in accordance with the rules of the suspension point penalty system. (a no-show is when the player does not show up for the match and has not notified the tournament that they will not appear). these points are separate from, and in addition to, the lateness penalties described above and any other penalties assessed under the point penalty system (refer to the jr.handbook or the fac for more details). 4) these rules will apply to everyone. it does not matter if you are an 18's open player or a 10's novice player playing in your very first tournament - if you are late, you will be penalized. there are two, and only two, exceptions: if the lateness is the result of tournament error (e.g. the wrong time or place is posted on-line) or if there is a verifiable traffic situation (e.g. a major accident that closes a highway. normal commute or construction traffic is not an excuse). no other excuses will be accepted. in the event your match is delayed because your or your opponent's earlier match is delayed or goes long, or because of an official delay, you will be given a new match time - you will not be held to the original match time in this case. 5) match times and locations can change at any time during the tournament, especially when inclement weather is a factor. although the tournament strives to keep to the original schedule, this is not always possible. therefore, it is imperative that you check the on-line draws on the tournament website every day. do not assume that your match time has not changed from the last time you checked. these rules are in place to make the tournament as fair as possible for all players. showing up late for your match is unfair to your opponent and can have a significant negative effect on the progression of play, delaying everyone's matches. a no-show is considered to be extremely unsportsmanlike, as evidenced by the severe penalties given. these rules apply to all matches, including consolation and 3rd/4th playoff matches - if the tournament includes these matches, you are required to play them. make sure you know when and where your next match is before leaving the site. if you have any questions regarding these policies, the on-site official will be happy to explain them further. thank-you for your attention, and i look forward to seeing all of you out on the courts!
