CAPTAINS INFORMATION
& SITE RESPONSIBILITIES
The following includes information and responsibilities
for each team captain. Please review this information
carefully and relay all information to your team
members!
The captain is responsible for checking his/her team
in at the site of the match. Do not check in with the
site desk until ALL players are present and ready
for play. You will turn in your lineup at the site desk
at this time using one of the scorecards in your
registration packet. Be sure to fill out your scorecard
according to the instructions enclosed in this packet. A
fifteen-minute default time will be strictly enforced,
as will the point penalty system. Court monitors will
time warm-ups and changeovers.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR PLAYERS ARE PLAYING AGAINST THE
CORRECT OPPONENTS. TELL YOUR PLAYERS TO INTRODUCE
THEMSELVES AND GIVE THE POSITION THEY ARE PLAYING!
Winners of individual matches will take the balls and
report the score IMMEDIATELY to the site desk.
SCORING: Each team will receive 1 point for
each team match won. These points are posted on the
official scoreboards. In the event of a tie, the
tiebreak procedures will be total of individual matches,
then least sets lost, then least games lost, then head
to head, then a coin toss.
All teams are expected to play all scheduled matches!
Any team not complying will be subject to grievance
procedures. In accordance with USTA League Tennis
Regulations, any team forfeiting an entire team match
for ANY REASON will result in all matches of that team
previously played or to be played to be declared null
and void. If all teams in contention for the
Championships have already played the forfeiting team in
good faith, the matches stand as played.
Grievances: Forms are available at each of the
sites at the tournament desk. Completed
grievance forms are to be presented to the Site Director
at the site of the match within 30 minutes of the
completion of the team match. The committees involved
will handle all Grievances as promptly as possible.
Unless requested by the committee, only the captain and
the player(s) involved will be permitted at any
hearings.
NTRP Disqualification. The USTA Southern
Section Regulations 3.04D(2) Championship state: Dynamic
ratings will be generated following the State and
Sectional Championships. Points earned by disqualified
players will stand. The disqualified player will not be
eligible to advance to the next level of competition.
Self-rate NTRP Grievances filed after July 6th, 2008
against anyone participating in the Sectional
Championships will be administered after the Sectional
Championships unless the USTA Southern Section Adult
League Committee Chair, Vice-Chair and Sectional League
Coordinator authorize the administration of the
grievance prior to that time. If the grievance is not
administered until after the Sectional Championships,
points won by players will stand. Disqualified players
and/or captains that are suspended will not be eligible
to advance to the National Championships.
Awards will be given to the champions and finalists.
All matches will observe a 10-minute warm-up,
including serves. In matches where players or teams
split sets, the match tiebreak in lieu of a third set
shall be played (first to ten points by a margin of two
points). Play is continuous. Coaching is not permitted
at any time.
Medical Conditions: Medical conditions include
but are not limited to an injury, illness, and
heat-related condition or cramping.
Medical Time-Out: A medical time-out consists
of evaluation time as determined by the referee plus a
maximum of three minutes treatment time.
Request for a medical time-out. A request for a
medical time-out may be made by a player to the court
monitor or at the tournament desk. During the match or
warm-up, if a player suffers from a medical condition or
believes that medical diagnosis or treatment is
required, the player may request a one-time medical
time-out for that medical condition. Subsequently, he
may request another medical time-out for a different
medical condition. Only one medical time-out shall be
permitted for heat-related conditions and cramping in
any match, even if the heat-related condition or
cramping occurs to different parts of the body.
Toilet visit. A player may request one or more
suspensions of play for a toilet visit. No coaching
shall be permitted during the suspension of play for
either a medical time-out or a toilet visit.
In the event of rain, the Site Director on site will
stop play and players will report their score in
progress to the site desk. Players will not be allowed
to leave the site until released by the Site Director on
site. If needed, play will continue under lights if
necessary, to keep on schedule. |
