Exchange Rate Fluctuation Exchange Rate Adjustment Less than 5% None Between 5 and 10% 5% 10% or greater One half the Exchange Rate Percentage Fluctuation (* For example, if the currency fluctuates 11% from the authorized exchange rate, the exchange rate will be adjusted by 5.5%). Each Tournament electing to pay on-site prize money in a specific non-US currency shall obtain from the ITF (Rest of World Events) or Tennis Europe (European events) the Official ITF Exchange Rate determined as provided and shall use the same. d) Uncompleted Matches If the singles or doubles event of a tournament is cancelled, e.g. due to poor weather, and there has been no play, first round prize money will be paid out to the players. If play has commenced and been terminated before the tournament is concluded players will be paid loser’s prize money for the individual round reached. Additionally, if the first round has been completed, all players/teams will receive their Round Points earned through the last completed round only and the tournament will count as a tournament played. If a tournament is officially terminated and the final(s) have not been completed, the finalists will each receive finalists’ prize money and ranking points. The difference between the winner and finalist prize money will revert back to the tournament. e) Defaults, Byes, Withdrawal and Retirement i) No points or prize money will be awarded to a player or team who withdraws or is a “no show” without playing their first match. ii) Any player who is defaulted shall lose all prize money, hospitality and points earned for that event at that tournament, unless: - The player was defaulted for a violation of the punctuality or dress and equipment sections of the code of conduct - The player was defaulted as a result of a medical condition - A member of a doubles team did not cause any of the misconduct code violations that resulted in the team being defaulted. iii) A singles player withdrawing after the first round, or retiring, will receive loser’s computer points and prize money for the round in which she retired. iv) If a singles player withdraws from the semifinal or final their prize money is calculated per the round they withdrew less 50% of the 60
difference between that round and the previous round. Such 50% shall be retained by the tournament. v) If a player withdraws from the singles final, and the Tournament Director so desires, a substitute player will play a best of 3 set exhibition match against the Tournament winner. The substitute player will receive all the money defaulted. vi) A doubles team withdrawing after the first round, or retiring, will receive loser’s computer points and prize money for the previous round reached. In addition, the player withdrawing or retiring will not be allowed to play in any other ITF Pro Circuit tennis event until Monday of the next tournament week (unless she is still playing in singles). vii) A player or team who wins a match as a result of a retirement, default, walkover or no show shall receive prize money and points that the player or team would have received for winning the match only if they have previously played and won a match. viii) If a player or team receives one (1) or more consecutive byes and loses her/their first match played, the player or team will only receive ranking points from the round preceding their elimination and the player or team shall receive prize money for the round reached. ix) If a player or team receives one (1) or more consecutive byes and withdraws from her/their first match, no ranking points shall be awarded, the tournament will not count on her/their record and no prize money shall be paid out. f) Amateur Expenses ITF Women’s Circuit Tournaments may pay expenses to amateurs who are eligible to and do compete. Such expenses are limited to the actual and reasonable expenses of an amateur incurred pursuant to her participation in the tournament. The payment of expenses cannot be conditioned on the success of the amateur in the event. V. AMENDMENT TO THE REGULATIONS 1. ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONS These Regulations shall be binding. It is the responsibility of the ITF Supervisor on site to enforce these Regulations on behalf of the ITF. 2.
