3. The referees must commit to be present at the tournament venue at least half an hour in advance.

4. The referees must commit to wear the official uniforms as specified by the main Referees Committee.

5. In case of a lack of the sufficient number of referees in a tournament, then the general

61

referee has the authority to decide to run the tournament without referees, particularly in the preliminary rounds. In the final rounds, however, this must be assigned to accredited referees.

6. The referees and the designated office representative are considered (by the Federation or the office) to be fully responsible for managing the tournament matches in terms of applying game and tournament rules & regulations. They are also responsible for resolving all issues and obstacles that may adversely affect the smooth running of the tournament. If this proves not to be possible, then a report must be attached to the tournament sheet to be submitted to the tournament’s hosting office. The office is authorised to take necessary and measure as it deems appropriate, and in conjunction with the view of the Technical Committee.

7. The office Rep has the oversight and responsibility over the preparation of competition courts and all associated equipment required for the competition. Each club administrator and club coach has the responsibility over the conduct of their players as well as their club supporters.

Fourth: Objections & Complaints:1. A club is entitled to object to any penalty or sanction as they see fit. This must be done

by submitting an objection to the competition’s organising committee or the Competitions Technical Committee of the STF, accompanied by a financial fee amounting to (1,000 S.R.), as follows:

a) In competitions that are follow the knockout rule, the club shall present its objection to the organising committee immediately after the end of the match under consideration. The decision of the organizing committee is considered final.

b) In championships with a league format, the club is entitled to come forward with its objection to the attention of the Competitions Technical Committee of the STF within 24 - 48 hours after the end of the match, accompanied by a financial fee amounting to (1,000 S.R.).

c) In the event of a successful appeal (procedurally and in terms of principle), the club shall be reimbursed the appeal fee.

d) The decisions of the Committee are not final and are subject to appeals.

2. Clubs or individuals are entitled to come forward with any objection or complaint regarding any type of misconduct outside the technical framework of competition. This can be against other individuals, clubs, the Federation or any of its employees, through lodging an official complaint with the Complaints & Sanctions Committee at the STF and in accordance with the published rules and procedures of the Appeals Committee. The decision of the Appeals Committee is considered final.

62

3. Clubs or individuals are entitled present their appeals against the decisions of the STF’s Complaints & Sanctions Committee in relation to previous complaints. These appeals should be presented to the STF’s Appeals Committee in accordance with the published rules & procedures of the Committee. It follows that the decision of the Appeals Committee is considered final.

Fifth: Player RankingOut of the determination of the Technical and Competition Committees to raise the technical level of players, as well as ensuring the continued progress and success of the game of tennis in Saudi Arabia in general, and in line with international practices in terms of player ranking, the Technical Committee has therefore implemented a new format for the individual ranking of players who participate in domestic and international competitions across all categories. The ranking points for players that participate with the national teams during the season, hence unable to take part in domestic competitions, will be worked out by awarding them the same points as for the winners of regional and national tournaments and according to the tournament schedule of the player’s competition category. The player ranking will be issued after the end of each Singles tournament after all the points allocated to each player from their various participations have been added.

Sixth: Participation in International Tournaments1. In the case of any Saudi club participating in regional, Arab or international tournaments, the

scheduled matches of that club shall be automatically postponed, for the whole participation period. If the club intends to continue competing in domestic tournaments and championships during this period, alongside its international participation, then the club is required to write a letter to the STF at least five (5) days prior to the start of matches showing its firm intention to continue competing in all or some of the matches.

2. If a club player is called up to join the national team, and his club wishes to postpone his scheduled matches or some of them, then the club is required to approach the STF at least five (5) days in advance showing its intention to continue competing in all or some of the matches.

3. In case of the postponement of any club’s matches, the Technical Committee has the authority to determine an appropriate alternative date/ time so as not to hinder the smooth running of official championships and tournaments.
