9 Defaults: All matches will be scheduled at definite times. Any player not ready to play after the match is called is subject to the USTA penalty for delay of match. Any player who acts in any way that is not in the best interest of the game also may be defaulted. Additionally, misconduct by a coach will result in a first warning and further misconduct will warrant removal from the match. This decision will be made by the head referee and/or games committee. Lineups / Replacements/ : Alternates The lineup for championship play is submitted to the referee at the mandatory coaches meeting before the start of competition. In singles competition, positions Nos. 1-5 shall remain the same for the duration of the championship. Position No. 6 may be filled with any of the three remaining players on the lineup, and may change from match to match. The student-athletes listed on a team s lineup for the first round will remain the same for the second round. Head coaches are required to inform the referee of any changes in lineups. In the case of injury, illness or extenuating circumstances (as determined by the coach, to be approved by the games committee) a replacement can be made in the lineup. In such cases, the lineup must remain in order of strength, with student-athletes moving up one place in singles and the new player placed in the No. 6 singles position. For doubles competition, any replacement is a straight-line replacement. The three doubles teams must remain in order of strength as determined by their respective competition records. The games committee has the right to review and if necessary, overrule a coach s decision regarding a lineup change, based on the ability of the players and matches during the season. In team competition, if a player is injured during the pro-set doubles and that player is in the singles lineup, substitutions may be made for singles play but the lineup must follow the order of strength submitted on the lineup. Playing Rules: Inclement Weather: The USTA and ITA rules will be followed, unless superseded by modification adopted by the NCAA Men s and Women s Tennis Committee. In case of inclement weather, matches will be held at the WFU Indoor Tennis Center, , located at Shorefair Drive, 1 mile from campus.
