CODE OF CONDUCT ITF PRO CIRCUIT 2011 ARTICLE I: GENERAL References in this Code of Conduct (“Code”) to the “ITF Executive Director” shall hereafter mean the ITF Executive Director of Professional Tournaments. References in this Code to the “Committee” shall hereafter mean the ITF Women’s Circuit Committee in the case of ITF Women’s Circuit Tournaments and the ITF Men’s Circuit Committee in the case of ITF Men’s Circuit Futures Tournaments. A. PURPOSE The International Tennis Federation promulgates this Code of Conduct (Code) in order to maintain fair and reasonable standards of conduct by players and the organisers of ITF Pro Circuit Tournaments and to protect their respective rights, the rights of the public and the integrity of the Sport of Tennis. All references to the International Tennis Federation or the ITF shall mean the ITF Limited. B. EXCLUSIVE APPLICABILITY This 2011 ITF Pro Circuits Code of Conduct shall be the exclusive basis for disciplinary action against any player or tournament in ITF sanctioned Pro Circuit Tournaments. C. UNITED STATES DOLLARS All monetary fines set forth in the Code are in US Dollars. D. ITF SUPERVISOR The approved ITF Supervisor for each ITF Pro Circuit Tournament shall be the final authority for the interpretation of these Tournament Regulations, Code of Conduct and the Rules of Tennis as to all matters arising that require immediate resolution at the tournament site. 78
A. APPLICABILITY ARTICLE II: MEN’S PLAYER ENTRY OFFENCES This Article shall only apply to ITF Men’s Circuit Futures Tournaments. B. ENTRY OFFENCES 1. Late Withdrawal/Non-Appearance (“No Show”) A player who has entered and been accepted as a Direct Acceptance into the Main Draw or Qualifying and not timely withdrawn therefrom, shall appear for play. Any withdrawal from a player accepted into the Main Draw or Qualifying that occurs after the Withdrawal Deadline shall 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. Violation of this Section shall subject a player to a fine up to $500. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of the ITF Futures Tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this Section shall also constitute the Major Offence of “Aggravated Behaviour”. 2. On-Site Medical Withdrawal a. 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. b. 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 he withdraws before the start of his first match and either undergoes a medical examination on-site at the event from which he 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. 79
