Official Protest Example
Your opponent touches the net with his racket during a point. You state that per the rules of tennis, if you touch the net with your racket, you lose the point. Your opponent disagrees about the rules and is adamant about taking the point. You state that if he takes the point you are playing the remainder of the match "under protest". Inform him that if the league office rules in your favor he will lose the match based on that one single point. Report the incident to the league office.
In this example we would support the rules of tennis and overturn the match in your favor. You would receive the win and your opponent would only receive points up to the infraction. If you simply disagree about the rules and do not state that you are "protesting the match" we will not rule on the infraction or overturn the match even if your opponent agrees he touched the net.
In any dispute, if you claim the point, you had better be 100% sure of the rules. If the league office finds that the Ultimate Tennis or USTA rules do not support your actions, you will lose the match based on that one infraction. If you are not 100% sure of the rules, we recommend letting your opponent take the point and continuing the match under an "official protest" (this will increase your odds of winning the match). If your understanding of the rules is wrong, then the league office can not disqualify you based on the infraction. You still leave yourself the possibility of winning the match on court. If you are right, and the league office supports your protest, then your opponent would be disqualified based on the infraction and you would win the match.
