New Penalty For Bathroom Break--Default!
One of the joys of having a tennis officials blog is that I get emails from all over the country telling me about "strange and unusual" things that tennis officials are doing--and this weekend is no exception!
I got a call last night telling me about an official at a tournament here in Texas. Seems that a 4.0 woman was going to take a bathroom break and was carrying her racket with her while she left the court. The official quickly informed the woman that if she took her racket with her on a bathroom break that it is an IMMEDIATE DEFAULT!
Oh well, guess its time to go back to the drawing board...

That is a South American Rule, some national frederation, like the USTA here adopted this rule and consequences. I've heard off this happening a couple of times before here in the States.....knowledge is power.....like knowing that the owner of this blog will never publish anything even casting a shadow on his shortcomings
The owner of this blog will be much more likely to publish something about his many shortcomings when you start publishing your real name with your snarky posts.
Hahaha
