70 ITF Women's Circuit Each Tournament electing to pay on-site prize money in a specific non-US currency shall obtain from the ITF (Rest of World Events) or Tennis Europe (European events) the Official ITF Exchange Rate determined as provided and shall use the same. d. Uncompleted Matches If the singles or doubles event of a tournament is cancelled, e.g. due to poor weather, and there has been no play, first round prize money will be paid out to the players. If play has commenced and been terminated before the tournament is concluded players will be paid loser's prize money for the individual round reached. Additionally, if the first round has been completed, all players/teams will receive their Round Points earned through the last completed round only and the tournament will count as a tournament played. If a tournament is officially terminated and the final(s) have not been completed, the finalists will each receive finalists' prize money and ranking points. The difference between the winner and finalist prize money will revert back to the tournament. e. Defaults, Byes, Withdrawal and Retirement i. No points or prize money will be awarded to a player or team who withdraws or is a "no show" without playing their first match. ii. Any player who is defaulted shall lose all prize money, hospitality and points earned for that event at that tournament, unless: - The player was defaulted for a violation of the punctuality or dress and equipment sections of the code of conduct - The player was defaulted as a result of a medical condition - A member of a doubles team did not cause any of the misconduct code violations that resulted in the team being defaulted. iii. A singles player withdrawing after the first round, or who retires, will receive loser's computer points and prize money for the round in which she retired. iv. If a singles player withdraws from the semifinal or final their prize money is calculated per the round they withdrew less 50% of the difference between that round and the previous round. Such 50% shall be retained by the tournament. v. If a player withdraws from the singles final, and the Tournament Director so desires, a substitute player will play a best of 3 set exhibition match against the Tournament winner. The substitute player will receive all the money defaulted.
