ATTENTION ALL SPECTATORS Players are responsible for their entourage:  Any attempt by a spectator to speak to an official regarding a line call or other ruling during match play will be cause for immediate removal from the playing area and, if warranted, from the premises.  Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable towards a player, another spectator, or staff member will be cause for immediate removal from the playing area or tournament premises. If the behavior is directed towards a player, either before, during, or after a tournament, it will result in an automatic and immediate suspension of that spectator’s right to attend USTA Eastern tournaments for a period of time to be determined by the USTA Eastern Junior Competition Committee.  Refusal to adhere to a removal request will trigger immediate enforcement of the Point Penalty System against the player with whom the spectator is associated. 

The referee/acting referee is the sole judge of unacceptable behavior.  Removal is not subject to appeal.

USTA Eastern has a zero tolerance policy for physical or verbal abuse
