• Treat their opponents and fellow participants with due respect at all time
• Not behave in any other way likely to bring the game into disrepute
• Exercise self control at all times
• Accept success, failure, victory or defeat with good grace and without excessive display of emotion

• Spectators have no role in making line calls and should not be asked to do so.
• It is both the obligation and prerogative of a player to call all shots landing on their side of the net.
• Players should help their opponents make calls when the opponent requests it.
• When a player does not call an out ball against themself when they clearly see it out — whether they are requested to do so by their opponent(S) or not — they are cheating.
• When making calls, keep in mind that the opinion of a player looking down a line is much more likely to be accurate than that of a player looking across a line.  A player who stands on one base line and questions a call concerning a ball that landed near the other base line is probably being ridiculous.
• Normally, asking for a replay of a point is a sign of failure to exercise line-calling responsibilities, and should occur only on rare occasions. One of these is as follows. Your opponent’s ball — a serve or otherwise — appears out and you so call, but return the ball to their court. Inspection reveals that your out call, which stopped play, is in error. Since you actually returned the ball a let is authorized. Had you not returned the ball the point would have been your opponent’s.
• When you are hindered attempting to return a shot that you could not have returned even had there been no hindrance, a let is not authorized.
• Once an out, fault, or let call is made play stops, regardless of what happens thereafter.
• When a player is injured in an accident caused by his opponent, it is the player who must suffer with respect to the match, not the opponent. For example, A accidentally throws his racket and incapacitates B so that B is unable to resume play within the time limit; even though A caused the injury, it was accidental, and B must be defaulted, not A.
• If you feel that your opponent is a chronic staller, foot faulter, or makes a larger number of what you feel sure are bad calls, you may call for an umpire/league committee and refuse to continue until the umpire arrives. Both players are still required to call their own lines and keep score.  The Umpires/league committee will simply confirm or overrule lines calls when requested to do so.
