RULES FOR CLUB TOURNAMENTS
Player availability helps make the tournament run smoother and on time.
Player availability helps make the tournament run smoother and on time.
- Unless otherwise stated by the Director, the tournament match starting time is 5:15 pm. There will be a 30-minute grace period before default. Participants may play before the allotted time by mutual agreement.
- Tournament matches are normally scheduled Monday through Friday, though players/teams are encouraged to play tournament matches on weekends if all players are available. Otherwise, Friday-scheduled matches must be played by Monday evening. For all matches leading up to and including the semi-finals, players/teams should expect to be available to play on consecutive days. However, if a player/team cannot play on the scheduled day, they have 48 hours to play their match. Tournament final matches should be played within two weeks of the scheduled semifinal date. If a match is not completed within the allotted time, one or both players/teams may be defaulted, depending on the circumstances. Tennis Committee does not consider any of the following to be legitimate reasons for postponing a scheduled match:
- That a player has a practice hit or match already scheduled
- That a player has a scheduled match in a non-Idle Hour event such as a USTA league match or USTA tournament match
- That a player has vacation-related or other social plans
- All matches are governed by USTA codes of conduct.
- All matches are regular-scoring and two out of three full sets unless both players agree to a 10-point match tiebreaker in lieu of a full third set.
- Semi-final and final matches should be played on front courts that are close to the porch so that other club members may watch.
- Participants supply balls for the match with the losing player/team giving their balls to the winners for the next match. The club supplies the balls for the finals.
- Court priority will be given to tournament play.
- Winners, please record the match score neatly on the draw sheet.
- Refer all questions to the Tournament Director.
