GLTA Tournament Rules

GLTA operates on the belief that tennis, when played with a spirit of fun, mutual respect, and honesty, can be both competitive and rewarding for everyone. Our objective is to create the most fair, fun, and inclusive situation possible at all times for all players. GLTA Tennis Tournament Rules are useful in helping to guide us in that direction.

The Tournament Rules are intended to be a reference document for those running or competing in GLTA tournaments worldwide.

It is each player’s responsibility to know the rules and abide by them. It is the responsibility of tournament directors to make sure that the tournament rules are followed and assist players in the interpretation of the rules.

Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose … it teaches you about life.
