The home team must communicate prior to exchanging the line up if different surfaces are being used and state which lines will play on hard, clay or indoor. If teams exchange lineups and the home team captain has not communicated prior to the exchange the different surfaces are being used, the visi1ng team captain or ac1ng captain can immediately take back their team lineup and make changes to accommodate player preferences/issues for surface.

19 2018 Regulations Clarifications/Changes 1 Team Default: At the end of the season, standings will be evaluated to see if the full team default had an effect on the final standings. If the final standings were affected, all of the matches of the defaul1ng team will be removed from the standings (only the effected round, if more than one round robin) and the final standing will be recalculated. If neither team in conten1on received a full team default, the final standings will stand. Matches played will count for NTRP ra1ngs and advancement purposes. The defaul1ng team may be subject to a grievance. 2 Team Defaults: If a team defaults 2 full team matches, all of their matches played or to be played will be null and void. Matches played will count for NTRP ra1ngs and advancement purposes, but will not be used to determine the final standings. An automa1c grievance will be filed.
