ESF PENALTIES
E4.a) If a player makes a late withdrawal from a tournament (2 days or less before the start
date), a doctor’s certificate confirming injury/illness must be provided to avoid penalties.
The medical certificate (with a translation in English) must clearly state the player’s
name, date of birth and the nature of the illness/injury; the certificate must cover the date
of the relevant tournament and must be sent to the ESF office within two days after the
final day of the tournament (email: [email protected]; fax +44 1424 202463).
Any player making a late withdrawal not supported by a medical certificate will receive
zero points for the tournament which will count as one of their 4 best results for the rolling
12 month period and will be taken into account when dividing the points to obtain the
ranking average. This penalty will be applied automatically unless the ESF office
receives a doctor’s certificate within two days of the final day of the tournament.
If a player commits this offence for a second time within a 12 month period, he/she will be
banned from the ESF Junior Circuit for a period of 12 months.
b) If a player has entered a tournament and fails to turn up, he/she will receive zero ranking
points for the tournament. These zero points will count as one of the player’s 4 best
results for the rolling 12 month period and will be taken into account when dividing the
points to obtain the ranking average. This penalty will be applied automatically. If a player
commits this offence for a second time within a 12 month period, he/she will be banned
from the ESF Junior Circuit for a period of 12 months.
c) If a player fails to play out all scheduled matches for any reason other than illness or
injury, he/she will receive zero ranking points for the tournament. Illness or injury must be
verified by the tournament director and, if possible, by medical certificate sent to the ESF
office within two days of the final day of the tournament. If zero points are awarded, the
points will count as one of the player’s 4 best results for the rolling 12 month period and
will be taken into account when dividing the points to obtain the ranking average. This
penalty will be applied automatically.
If a player commits this offence for a second time within a 12 month period, he/she will be
banned from the ESF Junior Circuit for a period of 12 months.
