Any player who withdraws, cancels, or is a no-show for Match Play after the draw is posted will receive a “walkover” on their UTR profile, with no option for a make-up or credit. While this does not impact their UTR rating, multiple walkovers can negatively reflect on their record. This policy is in place to address frequent withdrawals after the draw is posted.
If a player withdraws, their opponent will be notified by email and phone that the match is canceled. If a player is a no-show, no match will take place that evening.
In both cases, players whose opponents cancel, withdraw, or fail to show should contact our UTR Match Play Director, Lukas Michenka, to receive a credit for a future Sunday UTR Match Play event. Those enrolled weekly will have the opportunity to play two matches in a future event.
We kindly ask parents and players to register responsibly. If you have other commitments, please refrain from registering—however, if you become available, feel free to email us, and we will do our best to arrange a match. This ensures a consistently competitive playing experience for everyone.
