RULES OF PLAY: 

1.      All participants in a specific match must report to the site official before his/her/their match for court assignment and balls.  At the conclusion of the match winners (and losers in a non-elimination round) must report back to the desk.

2.      Rules of Tennis and Cases and Decisions and The Code, both sanctioned by the U.S.T.A. will govern play.

3.      The W.I.A.A. supersedes the USTA rulebook on coaching in that it allows a two-minute break between the first and second set for the coach to speak with his/her player(s).  Do not leave the court.  Only the coach or coach designee may talk to the player(s). If there is a third set, then a ten-minute break is allowed.  Players may leave the court at that time.

4.      Ten-minute warm-up, serves included.

5.      New balls will be issued in the third set for winner’s bracket semifinals and the championship matches.

6.      Make all calls on your side of the net only.  Make them quickly, loudly, honestly, and accompany them with a hand signal.

7.      The point penalty system will be in effect.  The first infraction will result in the loss of a point.  The second infraction will result in loss of a game. The third will result in a default of the offender.  A default will result in the application of W.I.A.A. handbook rule 18:24.2.  The defaulted player will be ineligible for his/her next contest.

8.      Appropriate tennis attire is expected of all participants as approved by the W.I.A.A. and individual schools.

BALLS:         Two cans of tournament hard court balls will be furnished by each entrant.  A doubles team counts as one
                       entry.  So if your school qualifies a boys singles entry and a girls doubles team that is two entries and you
                       would need to bring 4 cans of tennis balls.
