ix. Green Screen Sessions 

All players are required, if requested, to participate in a minimum of two (2) short-form content capture green screen sessions per Tour Year, not to exceed thirty (30) minutes per session. 

x. Photo Shoots 

All players are required, if requested, to participate in the annual WTA photo shoot each Tour Year, not to exceed two (2) hours. 

xi. Special Events 

During the year, the WTA may also designate other activities as mandatory, including, but not limited to: 

(a) Tournament special dedication ceremonies or events; 

(b) Sponsor and WTA-related off-court activities, such as award ceremonies, player parties, and sponsor special events; and 

(c) Marketing and publicity activities for the WTA or WTA sponsors; however, each such marketing or publicity activity at a Tournament shall not exceed one (1) hour. 

b. Optional Activities 

All other WTA and Tournament ACES requests made of players shall be considered optional activities. Such activities include, but are not limited to: 

i. One-on-one print, television, and radio media interviews and open photo shoots above the minimum required under mandatory activities; and 

ii. Publicity events and charity activities (i.e., hospital visits, celebrity photo opportunities). 

Players have the right to decline any of these requests as long as they fulfill their required ACES commitment via other ACES opportunities. For those players who have not fulfilled their ACES commitment, they must agree to at least one (1) out of every three (3) of the optional activities which are proposed by the WTA or a Tournament. 

Once a player has committed to an optional event, it becomes an “arranged activity” and falls under the same requirements as mandatory activities.
