107 Code of Conduct i. Player is nominated to represent her country in an official team competition; ii. Player qualifies for entry into the Qualifying or Main Draw of a Grand Slam tournament; iii. Player is nominated to receive a Wild Card offering higher event status (i.e. Qualifying to Main Draw) into a World Ranking tournament; iv. Player is nominated to receive a Wild Card into a World Ranking tournament in a higher prize money category; v. Player is forced to withdraw from a qualifying event because she is still committed in a previous week's tournament but is not eligible to apply, or has been unsuccessful in applying for, a special exempt place. Violation of this Section shall result in a fine up to $1,000 in addition to any other late withdrawal fines provided in the Code. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of an ITF Women's Circuit tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this Section shall also constitute the Major Offence of "Aggravated Behaviour". C. WILD CARDS No player, directly or indirectly, shall offer, give, solicit, receive or accept, or agree to offer, give, solicit, receive or accept anything of value in exchange for a Wild Card. Violation of this section by a player shall result in a fine of up to $5,000. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of an ITF Women's Circuit tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this Section shall also constitute the Major Offence of "Aggravated Behaviour". D. DETERMINATION AND PENALTY The ITF shall cause an investigation to be made to determine the facts regarding all Entry Offences and upon determining that a violation has occurred shall specify the fine and/or other punishment therefore and where possible notify the player. E. PAYMENT OF FINES All fines levied for entry offences shall be paid by the player within ten (10) days after the notice thereof is provided. Unpaid fines shall also be collected at other ITF Women's Circuit tournaments and at Grand Slams for remission to the ITF. A player who has accumulated $500 or more in unpaid fines for violations of this Code of Conduct shall not be allowed to enter any ITF Women's Circuit tournament until such time as all fines have been paid.
