SUBSTITUTIONS
Before the tournament has begun, a substitution may be made in a school tennis doubles or mixed doubles team but not in singles. A school may not substitute for a singles player, an entire doubles team or an entire mixed doubles team. The alternate single, doubles or mixed doubles must be used. If at all possible, call the regional director prior to Monday, May 5, regarding changes in doubles or mixed doubles teams. Other doubles or mixed doubles substitutes may be permitted before beginning the tournament by notifying the site director. Reminder: Substitutions may be made for illness, injury, academic ineligibility or if a student is penalized by the school for misconduct or violation of the code of conduct.

SEEDING
The regional tournament director will be using seeding and draw.
We will seed 4 entries per draw. If you want to have your player or doubles team seeded, please bring the following information:

Their win-loss record (wins over other players or teams at the tournament)
USTA ranking/Universal Tennis Rating (UTR)
Anything to help determine who should be seeded
Coaches will vote to determine the 4 seeds

** Four and ONLY four players/teams will be seeded in each event. The remaining players will be drawn by lot and placed in the draw. District champions will be drawn and placed first, then runners-up will be drawn and placed.

PLAYOFF FOR SECOND PLACE
In tennis district and regional tournaments, the loser in the finals will play the winner of the third-place match (to determine second place) unless these two contestants (or doubles or mixed doubles teams) played each other in the semifinal round. The tournament director must start the finals and consolation matches at the same time.

MATCHES
Matches are best of three sets, regular scoring, 12-point tiebreaker at 6-6 in all sets.

PENALTY POINT SYSTEM
USTA Penalty Point System is enforced.

TARDINESS & FORFEITS
Fifteen-minute default rule is in effect.

COACHING
According to USTA rules, a player is allowed 25 seconds between points. A coach may provide feedback during 25 second time but cannot interrupt the continuous play rule. Coaching is NOT permitted in or on the confines of the tennis court.
Exceptions:

A coach may coach his/her players during the 90 second changeover at the end of odd games, and during the 10 minute rest period for split set matches.

Only the school tennis coach employed by that school may coach and only in a manner which does not interfere with the play adjoining courts.

** College style coaching will be allowed. Coaches may talk to the players between points, but may NOT disrupt or slow down play.
