Court Rules
Last updated: March 2026
In tennis, respect for your opponent is sacred. At Tennis Vertex, it is too. We want this community to be a safe, constructive, and passionate place for tennis lovers of all levels.
1. Respect on Centre Court
Our Court Central forum is for discussion, learning, and sharing. We have a zero-tolerance policy for:
- Insults, harassment, or bullying of other players.
- Hate speech, discrimination (based on race, gender, religion, etc.), or threats.
- Derogatory comments about the level of play of others. We all started hitting the fence.
- Trolling, mass spamming, or self-promotion in unrelated threads.
2. Coaches and Academy
If you are a coach sharing content in the Academy or Learning sections, your material must be educational, safe, and truthful.
- Do not make false or misleading claims (e.g., "Guaranteed to make you a pro in a week").
- Do not use the platform solely to aggressively sell external products without adding real value to the community.
- Always maintain a professional and respectful tone with your students.
3. Multimedia Content
When uploading avatars, or images:
- Copyright: Ensure you have the rights to any media you upload. Do not post broadcasted professional matches if you do not own the rights.
- Appropriate Content: Do not upload offensive, explicit (NSFW), illegal, or non-sport-related content. Keep it about tennis and fitness.
4. Calling a Fault (Reporting)
If you see a post or comment that breaks these rules, please use the "Report" button next to the content. Our moderation team will review it as soon as possible.
Penalty: Failure to comply with these rules may result in a deleted post, a formal ‘Warning’, or permanent expulsion from the match (Account Ban) without prior notice.
