Article II
Conditions Governing CTUA Members
Assignments and fees at USTA, ITA (collegiate) and prize money events: The jurisdiction of CTUA is defined as the State of Colorado. To ensure uniform and consistent officiating and to maintain high standards, CTUA strives to serve as the single point for scheduling and assigning umpires within its jurisdiction. To that end, CTUA officials are not permitted to seek or accept assignments at events that have not been approved and /or scheduled by the Board, whose responsibility it is to oversee all scheduling and assignments. Any official taking independent action to schedule his/her own work in contradiction to the preceding will be suspended from CTUA for a period of one year and will not receive assignments from CTUA while under suspension. A member so affected shall have the right to appeal, in writing, to the Board within 14 days of having received the notice of suspension. Furthermore, members are prohibited from working for anything less than the minimum fee that has been established each year by the Board. Any official accepting or agreeing to work for less than the minimum fee will be suspended for one year. This may be appealed to the Board in the same manner as that described in the preceding. Members may officiate without restriction in tennis events outside of the jurisdiction of CTUA.
Charitable events: CTUA members may officiate without restriction in any charitable tennis events.
