What are the penalties for withdrawing late or not finishing all events in a junior tournament?

Tennis Canada's Rules of the Court 2026 have a separate Late Withdrawal and Failure to Complete Required Tournament Events (LW/FC) system for junior tennis only:

• Withdrawal after the draw has been made: 1.0 LW/FC penalty point
• Failure to complete all required events at a tournament: 1.0 LW/FC penalty point (for example withdrawing from singles consolation after losing in the first round of a Junior Nationals event, where entered players are expected to play singles, doubles and consolation singles)

Reaching 3 LW/FC penalty points within 12 months means a three-month suspension, and the provincial association should inform Tennis Canada so the suspension applies in all provinces. LW/FC points are separate from Code of Conduct suspension points: 1 SP plus 2 LW/FC points does not add up to a suspension. The failure-to-complete penalty does not apply if a player is forced to leave through injury or illness, but the player must get a Medical Certificate from the Sports Medicine Trainer or other qualified medical personnel designated by the tournament before leaving.
