3. Consecutive Late/Medical Withdrawals Where a player withdraws late from consecutive tournaments for the same medical reasons, only the first late withdrawal will be subject to the provisions of section B.1. 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. 4. Playing Another Event / One Tournament Per Week a. No player who has played in the Main draw or Qualifying of an ITF Futures tournament shall play in any other tennis event during the period of such tournament unless released by the ITF Supervisor. b. No player who has entered and been accepted into the Qualifying or Main Draw of an ITF Futures tournament shall play in any other tennis event during the period of such tournament except as hereinafter provided. Participation by a player in an alternative tournament is only permitted in the following specific circumstances, provided he first submits an official withdrawal for the tournament he was originally committed to, prior to its Qualifying Sign-in deadline: i. Player is nominated to represent his country in an official team competition; ii. Player qualifies for entry into the Qualifying or Main Draw of a Grand Slam tournament; iii. Player is nominated to receive a Wild Card offering higher event status (i.e. Qualifying to Main Draw) into a World Ranking tournament; iv. Player is nominated to receive a Wild Card into a tournament in a higher prize money category, unless already accepted into a Main Draw; v. Player is forced to withdraw from a qualifying event because he is still committed in a previous week’s tournament but is not eligible to apply or has been unsuccessful in applying for a special exempt place. Violation of this section shall result in a fine up to $1,000 in addition to any other fines provided in the Code. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of the tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this Section shall also constitute the Major Offence of “Aggravated Behaviour”. 80
C. WILD CARDS No player, directly or indirectly, shall offer, give, solicit, receive or accept, or agree to offer, give, solicit, receive or accept anything of value in exchange for a Wild Card. Violation of this section by a player shall result in a fine of up to $ 5,000. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of an ITF Futures Tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this Section shall also constitute the Major Offence of “Aggravated Behaviour”. D. DETERMINATION AND PENALTY The ITF Supervisor shall make such investigation as is reasonable to determine the facts regarding all entry offences and upon determining that a violation has occurred shall specify the fine and/or other punishment therefore and where possible notify the player. E. PAYMENT OF FINES All fines levied for entry offences shall be paid by the player within ten (10) days after the notice thereof is provided. Unpaid fines shall also be collected at other ITF Futures tournaments and at Grand Slams for remission to the ITF. A player who has accumulated $500 or more in unpaid fines for violations of this Code of Conduct shall not be allowed to enter any ITF Futures tournament until such time as all fines have been paid. A player who has outstanding fines at the end of the calendar year will not be allowed to enter any ITF Futures tournament until such time as all fines have been paid. F. REMISSION OF FINES 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. G. FALSIFYING OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION Should a player submit documentation that the ITF deems to be false evidence, including, but not limited to, documents pertaining to tournament entry and withdrawal and Code of Conduct appeals, the player shall be subject to a fine of up to $500 in addition to any other fines provided in the Code. 81
