THE SATA HONOR CODE OF ETHICS
  The code is prepared under the philosophy that "today's opponent is tomorrow's tennis friend." The game of tennis depends upon courtesy and fairness.
Conduct of Players
   The highest type of sportsmanship is expected from every player.
    
     You must call all balls as if you were a linesman, except that any doubt must be resolved in favor of your opponent.

     It is your obligation to help your opponent make a call when your help is requested.

     Do not enlist the aid of a spectator in making calls.
 
     It is the server's responsibility to call the score before each point.

     Calls of "out" or "let" must be made instantly.

     In doubles if one partner calls the ball "out" and the other partner calls it "good", then the ball was not seen clearly and is therefore "good".

     Never try to take advantage of an opponent by serving before he/she is ready. Your opponent may ask for a "let" if you quick-serve him/her.

     You must volunteer honestly against yourself such violation such as a double-bounce, ball touching your body or clothing, touching the net, or reaching over the net.
  
  In doubles, there should be no conversation during the course of play other than brief instructions to your partner, such as "mine", "out", "run", or "bounce it".
