During Matches:
-If no official is present, spin your racket before warming up to
determine server and sides.
-Warm-up is 5min (roughly 3min ground strokes, volleys, overheads,
2min serves).
-You are responsible for warming up your opponent for the full 5min
if they request it.
-Whenever an issue comes up during play, it is your responsibility
as players to settle it amongst yourselves in a timely
manner.
-Parents and any other spectators cannot be consulted during any on
court disagreements. Doing so may result in penalties assessed to
the player(s) and/or possible removal of the parent(s) or
spectator(s) from the premises.
-You may not leave your court for any reason other than to find an
official. This includes between sets.
-If your opponent does not call out the score, says the wrong
score, or you cannot understand the score, catch the serve and
confirm the score with your opponent, then start the point over
again
-If you forget the score or have a disagreement:
o Each of you state what the score is in your mind along with how
you arrived at that score.
o If you cannot agree, go back to the most recent score you can
agree on. If any part of the ball hits the line (even a single
hair), the shot is good.
-"Lets" may be called by either player while the ball is still in
play.
- If you feel your opponent did not call a ball correctly:
o Give you opponent the benefit of the doubt.
o You may ask "Are you sure?" once; if the player confirms their
call, continue playing, no further discussion.
o If you believe you recognize a pattern of incorrect calls then
you may ask an official to assist. You will continue to make your
own calls for the time the official is present
Unforced
Errors: it is considered unsportsmanlike conduct for players,
parents and spectators to applaud unforced errors.
After Each Match: - Both players need to return the balls and
report the score to the tournament desk together, in a timely
manner. Check the draws posted at the tournament or online for your
next match time and location
o This should be done as soon as possible as your next match could
be an hour after completing your previous match.
The role of USTA officials is to help ensure fair play and to
clarify any questions you may have about the rules and regulations
of tennis but NOT for instruction (scoring, serving and receiving
order, tie-breaks, etc) When you enter a tournament you are
expected to know the rules and how to play a tournament match. That
said, USTA officials are your Friend At Court, not the tennis
police, so when in doubt please contact officials with any
questions or concerns you may have.
If you have any questions prior to any tournament homepage (email
is preferred). Please note all withdrawals must be done by
email.
