[2.3] Balls – Both players must bring balls in good condition.
[2.4] Courts – Members players arrange to book their own court time and in accordance with the Tennis Moncton court booking rules. If both players are non-members, they can book the courts through the Tennis Moncton front desk or tennismoncton@gmail.com, up to 7 days in advance and according to the TM booking rules. No court fee will be charged for league matches.
[2.5] Setting up matches – Players have a joint responsibility to set up matches. Please agree on the time, location and projected time frame for the match beforehand.
[2.6] Rain – If it rains before the match starts, the whole match should be rescheduled. Don't make assumptions about the weather; be sure to contact your opponent to discuss the situation and to reschedule. If it rains during the match or court conditions deteriorate, either player may decide to call a halt to the match, and play can continue on another day.
[2.7] Injuries & Retirement – If a player retires injured, unwell or for any other reason that constitutes a retirement, he or she loses the match, it cannot be replayed. The player who could have continued (the winner) will receive 10 points.
[2.8] No shows and Walkovers – If a player has attempted to schedule a match twice and has received no response, the player can claim a walkover and receive 10 points. If a player does not turn up at the agreed time, or is more than half an hour late, the other player can claim a walkover and receive 10 points or the match can be rescheduled by mutual agreement.
[2.9] Cancellations & Rescheduling – If you are cancelling or rescheduling a match, make sure you get an acknowledgement from your opponent. If a player wants to cancel or reschedule a match they must give their opponent a minimum of 24 hours notice. If less than 24 hours notice is given, the match may be recorded as a walkover in favor of the opponent and points awarded, although it is still preferable to play the match if possible. Players must contact Tennis Moncton as soon as possible to cancel the court booking for a cancelled match.
[2.10] Coaching & Spectators – In all matches, coaching is not allowed. Communications of any kind, audible or visible, between a player and a coach shall be construed as coaching. Players are welcome to have spectators attend the matches (outside the fence; not on the court surface), however, they strictly may not interfere with match play. Spectators are never to make calls. No spectator has a part in the match. You should never enlist the aid of a spectator in making a call or request the opinion of a spectator to resolve a dispute. Spectators should maintain a sufficient distance from the court to prevent unnecessary interference.

If the issue cannot be resolved amongst yourselves, you can email leagues@tenniscanada.com with information about the conflict.
