vi) For $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 tournaments any player may apply to enter as “Main Draw Only” but she will not be considered for the Qualifying competition. b) Doubles i) All doubles entries must be received by the ITF Supervisor by 12.00 noon local time on the day before the scheduled start of the singles Main Draw. ii) Acceptances for the Main Draw and Qualifying shall be based on the System of Merit. If a player or a pair withdraws after the sign-in, the next pair will take their place in the draw, according to the System of Merit. Once the Qualifying event has started, vacancies in the Main Draw will be filled by Lucky Losers. iii) A player is not allowed to compete in doubles in two (2) tournaments (WTA and ITF Women’s Circuit) held in one week (i.e. a player may not play the Doubles Qualifying of a tournament, lose, and also enter Doubles “Main Draw Only” in another tournament played the same week). However, a player is allowed to play Singles Qualifying of one tournament and Doubles in another tournament played the same week, provided the player has been eliminated from one tournament prior to playing in the other tournament. A player may not participate in both tournaments at the same time. c) Withdrawal Procedures All withdrawals must be submitted online or made in writing on the Official Withdrawal Form. Emails are not accepted. See Appendix D for Entry and Withdrawal Procedures. i) Withdrawal Deadline (Main Draw and Qualifying) The Withdrawal Deadline is at 14.00 hrs G.M.T. on the Tuesday thirteen (13) days before Monday of the Tournament Week. ii) Tournament Acceptance A player who appears on a Main Draw or Qualifying Acceptance List at any time after the Withdrawal Deadline is deemed to have been accepted into and is committed to play the tournament. iii) Alternates A player who appears on one or more Alternate List(s) may withdraw at any time, without penalty, until she first moves into a Main Draw or Qualifying Acceptance List, at which time she will be withdrawn from all other Acceptance Lists by the ITF. 42
iv) Late Withdrawals/Non-Appearance (“No Show”) No player may withdraw her entry from the Main Draw or Qualifying of an ITF Women’s Circuit tournament for any reason after the Withdrawal Deadline. Any such withdrawal will be considered a late withdrawal. A player’s first two (2) late withdrawal offences within a calendar year are excused, provided the withdrawal is received by the ITF (and by the ITF Supervisor, if submitted after the Freeze Deadline) prior to the Qualifying Sign-in Deadline. Thereafter, except for the provisions below, any such withdrawal will be subject to the Late Withdrawal/Non- Appearance provisions set forth in Article III.B. of the Code of Conduct. v) On-site Medical Withdrawal If a player is forced to retire or withdraw during a tournament for medical reasons, the ITF Medical Certification Form must be completed (in English, French or Spanish) by the medically qualified physician on-site, indicating the nature of the medical condition and verifying that the player is unfit to continue playing in the current tournament. Such medical documentation will excuse any late withdrawal penalty for that tournament. A player who withdraws from a tournament for medical reasons after the Qualifying Sign-in Deadline will only be excused a late withdrawal penalty if she withdraws before the start of her first match and either undergoes a medical examination on-site at the event from which she is withdrawing and is verified as being unfit to play in that tournament, or, if the player was still committed to a previous week’s tournament at the time of the Qualifying sign-in deadline but subsequently developed a medical condition, submits to the ITF Supervisor a completed ITF Medical Certification Form, as described above, authorised by the ITF Supervisor of the previous week’s tournament. For the purpose of this rule, the ITF Medical Certification form must be submitted to the ITF or ITF Supervisor by no later than the last day of the tournament. vi) Consecutive Late/Medical Withdrawals Where a player withdraws late from consecutive tournaments for medical reasons, only the first late withdrawal will be subject to the provisions of section iv) above, provided each consecutive withdrawal occurs prior to the appropriate Qualifying Sign-in Deadline and a valid ITF Medical Certification Form is submitted. Following recovery, should a player participate in a tournament and have to withdraw from a subsequent tournament, that withdrawal will once again be subject to all the provisions above. 43
