However, the player must be properly attired before continuing play. If the discovery occurs after the match is over, the match still counts. No penalties will be retroactively assessed once the match is complete.
Any player or doubles team who commits an infraction of the HHSAA Uniform Policy that requires them to leave the court or takes longer than 20 seconds to have proper attire brought to them, will be penalized as follows:
a. A player who leaves the court or does not have the proper attire available within 20 seconds upon discovery of the uniform infraction will be assessed a Point Penalty.

c. A player who has not returned or does not have the proper attire available within 60 seconds upon the discovery of the uniform infraction will be defaulted.
After the code violation penalty has been assessed and the official verifies the proper attire, they will be offered a change of attire bathroom break to correct the discrepancy and continue play. Players will be allowed reasonable time for a change of attire break in conjunction with the uniform policy.
