PLAYER AND SPECTATOR BEHAVIOR:

- Only the PLAYERS or an OFFICIAL may make a call during a match. No one else may become involved in making calls or settling disputes. Only the player may request the help of an official. Any attempt by a spectator speaking to an official regarding a line call or ruling during match play may be a cause for immediate removal.

- Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable toward a player, another spectator, or staff member is cause for immediate removal. If behavior is directed towards a player, either before, during or after a match, it could result in a suspension of that spectator's right to attend.

- Refusal to adhere to a removal request will trigger immediate enforcement of the Point Penalty System against the player with whom the spectator is associated.

• The referee/acting referee is the sole judge of unacceptable behavior... Removal is not subject to appeals.

DEFAULT NO-SHOW POLICY

Players are expected to play all matches including main draw and consolation. It is mandatory to notify the tournament director in written communication (via email) that a player needs to withdraw. Failure to notify the Tournament Director via email will receive a “Default No-Show” and 5 suspension points per the USTA Suspension Point System (USTA Regulations IV.F.)

Default for refusal to play or continue to play (for reasons other than illness, injury, or personal circumstances) will result in 5 suspension points.

Players may only register in one age division , and players that choose to play singles and doubles must play singles and doubles in the same age division .

Registration closes on Sunday, Aug. 15, 2027, at 4:59 pm (CST) . A player may NOT be accepted to any event after the registration deadline IF they should affect seeding. Acceptance of any other late entries is at the tournament director's discretion. If a player would like to be considered for late entry, an email should be sent to mshaver@auburnalabama.org with the player's USTA number and division(s) the player wishes to enter. Late entries will only be considered until Monday (prior to tournament start) at 6 pm.
