Lateness Penalty (NJWTL Rule 14) – There is a 15 minute grace period for players who are later than the official 9:30am start time. If a player arrives at 9:35am, she has only a 10 minute warm-up left. If she arrives at 9:40am, she has a 5 minute warm-up. At 9:45am, there is no warm-up allowed and the following game deductions will apply:

One (1) game will be forfeited for each 5 minutes of lateness beyond 9:45 am.

- If play begins at 9:50am, the score begins 0-1
