B category players can participate in both A and B league at the same time.
The Topspin Çankaya Category and Ranking List, which will be published when the league starts, will be used as the basis for the categories of the players owned by the teams. The league director reserves the right to make the necessary changes for athletes not included in the Topspin Çankaya Category and Ranking List. Teams may request support from the director before the start of the league if they feel that there is a lack of clarity regarding the category of their players.
Changes in the category of players can be made by the tennis director until the start of the play-off matches. The tennis director's observations and written objections by the teams will be sufficient to review the players' categories.
On the match day, there will be no vacancies on the team lists. Each position will be filled with one name (from the names available on the team roster).
The tennis directorate may take preventive decisions regarding incidents that may occur during the matches that may violate tennis ethics and disturb the general order.
In this direction, if there are unwanted incidents such as insults, swearing, threats, violence, etc. on the court, the tennis director will consider a penalty of 1 to 3 matches to the players after the investigation with the tennis board after listening to the parties and witnesses. Depending on the severity of the incident, the board may also decide to permanently suspend the players from the league.
If the incidents occur off the court, the director has the authority to evacuate the stands, postpone or cancel the match. If the off-court incidents are later reviewed by the board, the board will also consider the application of the penalties mentioned in the previous article if the persons involved are league participants.
Teams will have the right to coaching during matches throughout the league.
Before the start of each match, the match lists will have the signatures of the captain and the vice-captain chosen by the captain for that day.
During the matches, 2 people whose names are written on the list will be able to coach at the same time, provided that they are not on the same court at the same time.

It will not be possible for people who do not have a signature for coaching to enter the courts and it will not be possible to transfer the coaching right by proxy.
It will not be possible to transfer the coaching right given to the team captain to another player from the team.
