vii) Extraordinary circumstances Under extraordinary circumstances a player has the right to appeal a Late Withdrawal or Non-Appearance fine to the ITF provided such appeal is filed within ten (10) days of the last day of the tournament. Such extraordinary circumstances must be substantiated by documentation. d) Freeze Deadline The Freeze Deadline is on the Thursday preceding the Tournament Week at 14.00 hours G.M.T. After the Freeze Deadline players on the Qualifying Acceptance List will no longer be moved into the Main Draw and players on the Alternate List will no longer be moved into the Qualifying Acceptance List. These players on the Alternate List are no longer committed to play the tournament. At the Freeze Deadline “Main Draw Only” entries which have not yet moved into a Main Draw Acceptance list will be removed from all $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 Acceptance Lists. A player who wishes to withdraw from the Main Draw or Qualifying after the Freeze Deadline must submit an official withdrawal to both the ITF and ITF Supervisor else she will be subject to the penalties provided for Non- Appearance. e) One Tournament per Week Once a player is committed to a tournament she may not enter or compete in more than one tournament that same week. A player may apply for entry into one or more ITF Women’s Circuit Tournaments for the same week, but she must state a priority at the time of entry and she will be withdrawn from all except one event in accordance with the Entry and Withdrawal Procedures Outlined in Appendix D. When a player is accepted into the Qualifying or Main Draw of a tournament at or any time after the Withdrawal Deadline, has signed in for Qualifying or has applied for and/or accepted a Wild Card or Special Exempt, she is committed to that tournament unless released by the ITF or ITF Supervisor. Players found to have been accepted into two tournaments in one week will be withdrawn from one tournament at the earliest opportunity in accordance with the System of Merit. A player is not allowed to compete in singles in two (2) tournaments (WTA and ITF Women’s Circuit) held in one week and will be withdrawn from the second tournament by the ITF (i.e. a player may not play the Qualifying of a WTA tournament, lose, and then play in an ITF Women’s Circuit tournament in the same week). If a player does play two (2) tournaments in one (1) week, upon the first occurrence the player will receive the lesser of the rankings 44
points earned from the two (2) tournaments. Upon the second and subsequent occurrences, the player will not be awarded any rankings points and she will be subject to a fine. f) Grand Slam and Multi-Week WTA Tournaments i. Participation during Qualifying and/or first weeks A player is allowed to play in two tournaments (ITF Women’s Circuit, WTA or Grand Slam) during this two-week period, provided the player has been eliminated from singles and doubles of the first tournament prior to the Qualifying Sign-in Deadline of the second tournament. Once a player has competed in two tournaments, where appropriate she will be automatically withdrawn from any ITF Women’s Circuit tournament in the week following the Qualifying. ii. Participation during the second week A player is allowed to play in an ITF Women’s Circuit tournament during the second week of a Grand Slam or multi-week WTA tournament provided she has been eliminated from the singles and doubles of that tournament prior to the ITF Women’s Circuit tournament Qualifying Sign-in Deadline. A player who is still competing in the Grand Slam or multi-week WTA tournament at this deadline will be automatically withdrawn. A player is not allowed to withdraw from a Grand Slam or multi-week WTA tournament to play the ITF Women’s Circuit tournament. g) On-Site Withdrawal/Retirement from Week 1 & participation in Week 2 A player who has lost in a Tournament (Week 1) may play the Qualifying for a Tournament scheduled for the next week (Week 2). A player may not withdraw or retire from Week 1 to play in any other tournament in Week 2 except for medical reasons. If a player is forced to withdraw on-site or retire from Week 1 due to medical reasons, and she is entered in a tournament in Week 2, that player must receive a medical examination from the Tournament Doctor from Week 1 and submit her medical examination to the Tournament Doctor for Week 2. To be eligible to compete in Week 2 the player must receive a medical examination from the tournament doctor. Any player will automatically be withdrawn from Week 2 if: i) she has withdrawn or retired from Week 1 without cause, or ii) she fails to provide a Medical Certificate from the Tournament Doctor from Week 1 to the Tournament Doctor of Week 2: or iii) she fails to receive a medical examination for Week 2 from the Tournament Doctor. Any player who is discovered to have contravened this rule shall not receive WTA ranking points for Week 2. The player will also be subject to a fine as 45
