## c. Court Signage 

## i. On the Court Surface 

(a) There can be no commercial identification on the surface of the court, except that the name of the court surface and the Tournament’s host locality (as further described below) are permitted to be placed on the court surface with prior approval from the WTA. A Tournament must request WTA approval for the placement of the WTA Logo and host locality signage and/ or court manufacturer identification, and provide full details of all signage (text and placement) to the WTA at least ninety (90) days prior to the event. 

(b) Tournaments may place on court the name of their host locality, which may include one (1) of the following: city, region (i.e., state or county), or country subject to the placement and size restrictions set forth below. The preferred font is Din Condensed, but tournaments may use the official logo or font of the host country, city, or region with the prior approval of the WTA. Signage must be consistent with the texture and feel of the court surface so as not to affect play or pose a safety hazard. 

The position, size, and font of the host locality signage shall be in accordance with one (1) of the following two (2) options; and, in either case, the Tournament must include the WTA Logo as specified below: 

HOST LOCALITY NAME OPTION 1: BASE LINE OPTION (not applicable to clay court tournaments)
