QuickStart Tennis formats: The Referee shall offer the players reasonable rest, which in many
cases will be no more than 15 minutes.
For any other format (including matches played with a 10-Point Match Tiebreak in lieu of a third
set), the minimum rest period is 30 minutes.
When a junior “plays up” in age division or a senior or adult “plays down” in age division, the player
is governed by the age division in which the player plays.
Players who participate in more than one division are entitled to only 30 minutes.
The Sectional Association, District Association, or the Referee may authorize additional rest when
any of them concludes that the length of the match, heat, humidity, or other conditions justify an
extension.
