108 Code of Conduct A player who has outstanding fines at the end of the calendar year will not be allowed to enter any ITF Women's Circuit tournament until such time as all fines have been paid. F. FALSIFYING OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION Should a player submit documentation that the ITF deems to be false evidence, including, but not limited to, documents pertaining to tournament entry and withdrawal and Code of Conduct appeals, the player shall be subject to a fine of up to $1,000 in addition to any other fines provided in the Code. In circumstances that are flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of the tournament, or are singularly egregious, a single violation of this section shall also constitute the Major Offence of "Aggravated Behaviour". G. APPEALS Any player convicted of a violation of a Player Entry Offence may, after paying all fines, appeal to the ITF Executive Director, for review of the determination of guilt and penalty therefore. Such Notice of Appeal shall be in writing and filed by 5.00 p.m. G.M.T. with the ITF within ten (10) days after the last day of the tournament. Attached to and included with such Notice of Appeal shall be a statement by the player as to the facts and circumstances of such incident along with any other evidence that the player desires to submit. Any player submitting fax transmission receipts when appealing a Player Entry Offence should note that all fax receipts must match exactly the fax receipt records at the ITF Office; i.e. fax transmission receipts submitted must show the originating fax number, the fax number of the ITF Office, the OK status, the number of pages transmitted, the date, the time and the transmission duration. If there is no exact match with the transmission receipt records at the ITF Office the appeal will be rejected as insufficient evidence submitted. Upon receipt of such an Appeal, the ITF Executive Director shall conduct a reasonable investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding such incident, and shall affirm or reverse in whole or in part the determination of the Offence. In the event of a whole or partial reversal the ITF shall remit to the player all or part of the fines collected in accordance with the disposition of the appeal.
