SEASAC Girls Tennis @ MKIS

Welcome to Mont’ Kiara International School! Our school is very pleased
indeed to serve as host for the 2013 SEASAC Girls Tennis Championships.
SEASAC is a wonderful organization and to be chosen to represent one’s
school in a regional championship such as this is a rare privilege. I trust that
all competitors will view it as such, and by their actions, both competitive and
otherwise, bring credit to themselves, their schools and their families.
Our goal in hosting this competition is that it will be a weekend full of intense
competition, excellent displays of sportsmanship, dazzling displays of skill,
and fond memories of new friends made. We trust that the competition,
although intense, will characterize the values of respect for one’s opponents,
integrity, and adherence to both written and unwritten rules and fair play.
Walter C. Morris
Head of School
Mont’ Kiara International School
Please accept my very best wishes for a successful tournament and for a fun
filled time while you are in Kuala Lumpur.
Best Personal Regards.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2013 SEASAC Girls Tennis
Tournament here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There are 10 schools competing
from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. We welcome
UWC East, who is competing in their first SEASAC tennis tournament.
This is expected to be an exciting event. We look forward to spirited
competition, good sportsmanship, and well played tennis. More importantly,
it is hoped that you simply enjoy the participation, have fun, and perhaps
make a few friends along the way.
Jeff Minasian

TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament will be played by teams consisting of
7 players, which include 3 singles and 2 doubles teams.
Players may only play singles or doubles, not both.
TENNIS FACILITY
Jalan Duta National Tennis Center. This is a tennis
specific facility used by the Malaysian national tennis
team.
SCHEDULE OF PLAY
Coaches are responsible for informing players about their
matches. Due to possible rain delays and the fact that not
every match will be available at the same time coaches
should ensure that their players are ready when the last
match has finished. If the schedule has been significantly
delayed, matches may be shortened and/or no-ad scoring
may be used.
REPORTING RESULTS
The coach of the winning player or team is responsible
for reporting the score to the administration of the
tournament immediately after the match is over. Coaches
from both teams are responsible for signing off on the
sheet before the results are official.
TENNIS BALLS are Wilson T1069 US Open balls. They
will be provided at the administration area in the lobby,
and that is where they will be dispensed prior to the
beginning of every team match. After the completion of a
team match, players should gather up the balls in the can,
and bring to the administration area for new balls for
their next match. Players are required to retrieve any balls
that are hit over the fence, provided it is safe to do so.
TENNIS RACKETS
Players are advised to bring an extra racket. There will be
a re-stringing service available at the tennis shop on the
far side of the indoor court building. Cost is approx. RM
50 – 80 (US $15 - $25). It should take about 30 minutes.
FIRST SERVE will be decided by a coin flip or by
spinning the racket. The non-spinning player/team will
call “up” or “down”, and if correct, will choose which
team serves first. The other team will choose the side of
the court to start on. This must be done prior to the 5
minute warm-up.

bowl.

into two pools. Each pool will play all of the teams in
their respective pools. Then there will be cross-over

SEASAC TENNIS RULES OF PLAY
All ITF rules and regulations are in force with the following SEASAC modifications.
1. Singles sticks are required.
2. Number of Participants – 7 players per team; 1st, 2nd, and 3rd singles, 1st and 2nd doubles; 1 coach per team per
school will be allowed on court.
3. Players will be seeded by their own schools, and equivalent seeding paired up for matches. It is stressed that this
system depends upon the integrity of the coaches ranking their own players. Seeding will be submitted by the AD of
the school to the Tournament Director on the Monday preceding the tournament, and the TD will email the seedings
to all other competing schools. Seedings will be posted on the tournament notice board and subsequently adhered to.
4. Format: Pro-set to 8, Tie break at 7 all, normal deuce (tie break to 7).
5. Warm-up is limited to 5 minutes
6. Coaches are allowed to coach from coaching areas only, and it should not stop play. The TD has the authority to
regulate appropriate coaching behavior. Coaching is considered to be communication, advice, or instruction of any
kind, audible or visual to a player. Coaching will be allowed at the change of ends.
7. Order of play: 2nd doubles, 1st, doubles, 3rd singles, 2nd singles, 1st singles.
8. If a player forfeits a second match in the tournament, the TD has the right to exclude them from all future play with
the exception of academic reasons (ex. SATs).
9. Tournament Tie-Breakers: A – head to head. B – Total sets won among tied teams. C – Total games won among tied
teams (points won if possible). D – Once a tie-break has been resolved, additional ties will be resolved in the same
format using the same sequence of procedures beginning with the head to head result.
10. Un-played or partially played matches: A - If the match is 50% completed (first player/team to 5), the winner is
deemed the player/team ahead at that point. B – If the match is not yet 50% competed, it is deemed a tie, but the team
ahead at that point is placed higher in the final results.
11. Reserve Player: Schools may take a reserve player that can play #3 singles or #2 doubles at any time in the tournament
from one match to another, but not in the middle of a match. In the case of an injury, seeding will be moved up
accordingly (ex. #2 moves up to #1 if #1 is injured). Injured players are eligible to play again in the next match at the
original seeding.
12. Receiving player makes the line call. If there is a disagreement that the players cannot resolve themselves, the coaches
can be called in to help resolve the situation. If players continue to have problems, then the TD or neutral designee
will umpire the remainder of the match.
13. Scheduling: The schedule is an estimate of match times. As matches vary in length, teams must be prepared at the
TD’s request.
SEASAC COACH’S CODE OF CONDUCT
Each Coach Shall:
- Abide by the content and intent of the SEASAC Constitution, Handbook, Playing Regulations and Appendices and
should accept and support the rules governing the sport and those responsible for administering the rules.
- Prepare participants with regard to the behavior expected of them at a SEASAC event.
- Cooperate with fellow coaches, tournament directors, officials and student minor officials in the performance of
their duties.
- Exemplify ethical behaviors, including honesty, integrity, fair play and sportsmanship.
- Be generous in winning and graceful in losing.
- Refrain from humiliating other teams either verbally or through results on the playing surface - winning is desirable
but to win at any cost defeats the purpose of the game and is in conflict with the spirit of fellowship at SEASAC events.
- Accept responsibility for the conduct of his/her athletes and discourage inappropriate behavior in competition and
while at or away from the sporting venue.
- Understand that obscenities, trash talk or other forms of verbal abuse from a coach or player directed at coaches,
officials, players or spectators are not acceptable behaviors in SEASAC competition.
- Keep his/her coaching function in proper personal and professional perspective.
