Under the 2026 ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors Regulations:
- Always withdraw if you won't attend. Withdrawals are made online through IPIN. The Withdrawal Deadline is 14:00 GMT on the Tuesday 13 days before the Monday of the tournament week. Withdrawing after that deadline is a Late Withdrawal and can be penalised under the Code of Conduct.
- One tournament per week. If you are a no-show, or you withdraw or retire from the singles or doubles main draw in any round, you may not play singles or doubles in any other tournament that week. Breaking this means a default and loss of all ranking points from that tournament.
- Leaving early. If you leave before you are knocked out of every event you entered, or retire for medical reasons without a valid medical certificate from the tournament doctor, you forfeit all ranking points from all events at that tournament and can be penalised under the Code of Conduct.
- Retiring after a match has started still counts as a win for your opponent for ranking points.
