REPORTING SCORES - READ THIS!!!!!!!

We understand that reporting accurate scores is critical to the rating process. We go to great lengths to ensure the score is recorded accurately. However, our accuracy is dependent on the score reported by the Winner. Per Friend At Court, it is the Winner's responsibility to report the score. This means the tournament desk will only accept reporting from the Winner. Because of the rating systems, we feel the need to implement procedures for reporting. If you are the loser of a match and you are concerned the score may not be reported correctly; you should accompany the winner to the desk to report the score. We are not stating players are purposely reporting scores incorrectly. So often, players can barely remember the court they were on much less the score of a three set match. So here is how we will handle score reporting officially:

• Winners will report the score to the tournament desk immediately after the match. (Players will not be delayed by coaches or parents, or any other reason.) • Officials call in the time a match has completed, and a winner will have 5-10 minutes from that time to report to the desk and give the score. Failure to report timely, could result in Suspension Points for not following the instructions of the official.

• If the match completion time is not called in by the on-court official and the loser of the match has reported to the desk to confirm the score but the winner is not there yet, the winner will have 5 minutes to report to the desk. Failure to report timely, could result in Suspension Points for not following the instructions of the official.

• PARENTS AND COACHES – INSTRUCT YOUR PLAYER, WINNER OR LOSER, TO GO TO THE DESK IMMEDIATELY AFTER A MATCH. DO NOT DELAY THIS PROCESS!!!!

• The Loser of the match can confirm the score at the time the winner reports. • If there is a dispute, the players can take that moment to talk it out while it is fresh in their minds and agree on a score for the winner to report to the desk. The desk will make note on the card that both players agree with the score.
