Club Tournament Guidelines

Participants:

Before the match: Please report to the tournament organizers at STC upon arrival to confirm your start time and match location
End of the match: Winner(s) please report scores to the tournament organizers. All players please check in at the draw desk to confirm next match time.

Start time:

Please arrive 15mins prior to your match start time
Your match is scheduled to start at the time indicated on the Draw. Exact time may vary on the day depending on the previous matches.
Maximum of 7 min warm up time

Draws:

Please review your scheduled playing time before each match, as draws are subject to change after being posted.
Updated results will be available online at the end of each day.
Best effort are made to meet everyone’s requests, but cannot guarantee all requests will be fulfilled.

Lateness & Penalties

Lateness rules start when your 7 minute warm-up period is complete, following your court being called (court available to play). Players arriving during the warm-up period are not permitted any extension of this period. After that, Tennis BC punctuality rules will be enforced:
- (A) 5:00 min or less – loss of toss and 1 game.
- (B) 5:01 to 10:00 min late – loss of toss plus 2 games.
- (C) 10:01 to 15:00 late – loss of toss plus 3 games.
- (D) 15:01 min and plus late – default of match.
If any player is injured during play and cannot continue within 10 minutes, then that team’s remaining sets go to the other team (e.g. 6-4, 6-0). (Note: an injured player can be replaced at set switch over but it is an automatic walkover for the opposing team.)
