Unofficiated Matches & Sportsmanship
There will be no official on site during your match. If there are any issues, we expect you to be cooperative and solution oriented in resolving them. The USTA Handbook of Tennis Rules and Regulations requires good conduct, fair play and good sportsmanship. Tennis is a game that requires cooperation and courtesy. If you need assistance please reach out to the Tournament Director.
We do not condone poor sportsmanship in any setting, but expect the highest level of integrity from all players in our FLEX events.
