ITA Rule V.A. Entry into and Withdrawal from ITA National Championships (Page 68, 2023-24 ITA Rulebook)
1. A player must not accept entry into the qualifying or main draw of an event if injured and not sure if he/she can compete in this event except with the written approval of the ITA office. In this case, if approval is granted, the coach must notify the ITA office by phone, e-mail and/or fax no later than seven (7) days before the start of the event, if the player is still injured and not fully recovered at that point.
2. Once a player (or doubles team) accepts an invitation into the qualifying or main draw of an event, he/she cannot withdraw within seven (7)* days prior to the start of the draw in which that player is competing. All withdrawals within this timeframe will be subject to any applicable entry fees. In addition, a withdrawal must be deemed ‘excusable’ by the ITA office in order to avoid penalty. Late withdrawals will only be excused for one of the following reasons:
i. Extreme academic circumstances beyond the player’s control and attested to by the Dean’s office (in this case the ITA office shall be notified in writing by the Dean’s office within 24 hours).
ii. Physical injury or sickness that occurs after the withdrawal deadline; any such medical withdrawal must be made with written documentation from a physician and the athletic department, which must be provided to the ITA office within 24 hours of injury.
*For the pre-qualifying rounds of an ITA National Championship only, a player (or doubles team) cannot be withdrawn within 10 days of the start of the pre-qualifying event. All withdrawals within this timeframe are subject to applicable entry fees.
3. All inexcusable withdrawals will result in:
● a letter of reprimand to the head coach with a copy sent to the school’s Athletic Director; and
● a fine to the head coach in the amount of $500.
Additional note for Doubles Withdrawal – If one half of a doubles team must withdraw the selection committee will review the new team to determine whether a direct line substitution can be made or whether the new doubles team should be moved to another spot.
