101 Code of Conduct ARTICLE II: MEN'S PLAYER ENTRY OFFENCES A. APPLICABILITY This Article shall only apply to ITF Men's Circuit Futures Tournaments. B. ENTRY OFFENCES 1. Late Withdrawal / No Show Any withdrawal from a player accepted into the Main Draw or Qualifying that occurs after the Withdrawal Deadline shall be considered a late withdrawal. A player's first three (3) late withdrawal offences within a calendar year are excused*, provided the withdrawal is received by the ITF (and by the ITF Supervisor, if submitted after the Freeze Deadline) prior to the Qualifying Sign-in Deadline. (*an excused withdrawal is valid for two consecutive tournament weeks provided the player withdraws, as above, and notifies the ITF about the second week's late withdrawal by the last day of the tournament). Violation of this Section shall subject a player to a fine up to $500. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of the ITF Futures Tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this Section shall also constitute the Major Offence of "Aggravated Behaviour". 2. On-Site Medical Withdrawal a. If a player is forced to retire or withdraw during a tournament for medical reasons, the ITF Medical Certification form must be completed by the medically qualified physician on-site verifying that the player is unfit to continue playing in the current tournament. b. A player who withdraws late from a tournament will be excused a late withdrawal penalty provided: i. the player, who is still competing in a tournament at or after the time of the Qualifying sign-in deadline, is forced to withdraw/retire, is examined by that tournament's physician and is determined to be unfit to compete at the following week's tournament; or ii. the player is on-site at the tournament when the withdrawal occurred and is determined to be unfit to compete by the tournament's physician. For the purpose of this rule, the player must withdraw before the start of his first match and the ITF Medical Certification form must be completed and submitted to the ITF no later than the last day of the tournament. c. A valid ITF Medical Certification form will excuse a late withdrawal penalty for any subsequent tournament until the player next competes in any tennis
