IMPORTANT UPDATES for 2013:

In 2013 USTA Eastern is:

· Aligning their Suspension Point System with USTA National. Please use the new forms below.

· Eliminating the 3 minute coaching rest period between the 2nd set and 3rd set tiebreak. We will only be using the 2 minute set break with NO coaching, where players remain on court.

· Implementing the Lateness Rule and the Overrule Rule for all tournaments.

For details about these rule changes, please see the Eastern Insert to the 2013 Friend At Court.
