Junior Ranking Regulation #7 has been revised regarding defaults and is in effect immediately. The change in the regulation follows:
All defaults regardless of the reason at any point in the tournament, including first round "no shows", will result in loss of credit for that tournament.  A player may petition a designated subcommittee of the Junior Tennis Council for reinstatement of lost points due to default within 10 days of the tournament.  Any player who defaults due to injury must report the injury at the time of the default to the tournament director in order to be eligible to petition for reinstatement of lost points.   A form that is available on the Junior page of the LTA website must accompany proper documentation from the player to formally request points be reinstated.
