Lateness & Defaults: Players have a 15
minute "grace" period to show up and check in at the reception desk after the
originally scheduled match time. Players who check in after the 15 minute
default time receive 0 points; however, the match may still be played for fun if
agreeable to the opponent.
No-Shows & Defaults: Please, as a courtesy to your opponents, and to
maintain the integrity of the league, AVOID NO SHOWS.
It should be noted that two no-shows by a player during a league session
will result in the player being defaulted from the league. The player will not
be allowed to register for the following league session.
Rainouts & Inclement Weather: When league matches are rained out, an
additional week of play will be added to the end of the season. If weather
is questionable, call KRC at 480-350-5711 to find out if you are playing.
A decision will be made one hour in advance of match starting time. If
rain interrupts play, and the match is completed on a different date, the match
will resume with the same score when interrupted.
Additional rules for unsanctioned matches: All league participants are
responsible for reviewing and adhering to the Kiwanis Recreation Center Tennis (KRC)
League rules. For rule and case scenario decisions beyond KRC League Rules,
refer to International Tennis Federation (ITF). A reference hard copy is
located at the reception desk. Tennis officials are not available for
league play. Conflicts shall be resolved as follows: 1) Players are
encouraged to come to a mutual agreement. 2) Players are encouraged to use the
ITF Rules of Tennis and for case decisions. 3) Players who cannot reach a
compromise may contact
