CAPTAINS INFORMATION
& SITE RESPONSIBILITIES
The following includes information and responsibilities for each
team captain. Please review this information carefully and relay all
information to your team members!
The captain is responsible for checking his/her team in at the
site of the match. Do not check in with the site desk until ALL
players are present and ready for play. You will turn in your lineup
at the site desk at this time using one of the scorecards in your
registration packet. A fifteen-minute default time will be strictly
enforced, as will the point penalty system.
You will be given the court assignments for your team match and it
is your responsibility to pass these on to your team. MAKE SURE THAT
YOUR PLAYERS ARE PLAYING AGAINST THE CORRECT OPPONENTS. TELL YOUR
PLAYERS TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND GIVE THE POSITION THEY ARE
PLAYING! Winners of individual matches will take the balls and
report the score IMMEDIATELY to the site desk.
Scoring: Each team will receive 1 point for each team match won.
These points are posted on the official scoreboards. In the event of
a tie, the tiebreak procedures will be total of individual matches,
then least sets lost, then least games lost, then head to head, then
a coin toss. A Match Tiebreak will be played in lieu of a third set.
All teams are expected to play all scheduled matches! Any team not
complying will be subject to grievance procedures. In accordance
with BMW Combo Doubles Southern Regulations, any team forfeiting an
entire team match for ANY REASON will result in all matches of that
team previously played or to be played to be declared null and void.
If all teams in contention for the Championships have already played
the forfeiting team in good faith, the matches stand as played.
Grievances & Grievance Appeals: Forms are available at each
of the sites at the tournament desk. A copy of any grievance must be
given to the opposing team captain by the captain of the team filing
the grievance. Completed grievance forms are to be presented to the
Site Director at the site of the match within 30 minutes of the
completion of the team match. The committees involved will handle
all Grievances and Appeals as promptly as possible. Unless requested
by the committee involved, only the captain and the player(s)
involved will be permitted at any hearings.
Awards will be given to the champions and finalists.
All matches will observe a 10-minute warm-up, including serves. In
matches where players or teams split sets, the match tiebreak in
lieu of a third set shall be played (first to ten points by a margin
of two points). Play is continuous. Coaching is not permitted at any
time.
Medical Conditions: Medical conditions include but are not limited
to an injury, illness, and heat-related condition or cramping.
Medical Time-Out: A medical time-out consists of evaluation time
as determined by the referee plus a maximum of three minutes
treatment time.
Request for a medical time-out. A request for a medical time-out
may be made by a player to the court monitor or at the tournament
desk. During the match or warm-up, if a player suffers from a
medical condition or believes that medical diagnosis or treatment is
required, the player may request a one-time medical time-out for
that medical condition. Subsequently, he may request another medical
time-out for a different medical condition. Only one medical
time-out shall be permitted for heat-related conditions and cramping
in any match, even if the heat-related condition or cramping occurs
to different parts of the body.
In the event of rain, the Site Director on site will stop play and
players will report their score in progress to the site desk.
Players will not be allowed to leave the site until released by the
Site Director on site. If needed, play will continue under lights if
necessary, to keep on schedule.
