Fines for doubles players will be based on the player’s WTA Doubles Ranking. The amount of the fine shall be 50% of the singles fine set out above. 

The ACES fine for a doubles player at WTA 125 Tournaments shall be $250 per violation. 

## 7. Exceptions 

Players who do not appear for, or are materially late to, mandatory or arranged activities will be exempt from ACES fines under the following circumstances with appropriate notice: 

a. Schedule of play change creates timing conflict; it being understood that practice time is not an excusable absence. 

b. Player has been eliminated from singles and doubles, if applicable, at the Tournament, her ACES were scheduled for more than twenty-four (24) hours after her elimination from the Tournament, and she has left the event market. 

c. Withdrawal from Tournament due to injury or illness; it being understood that if the WTA Communications Department determines that a commitment is still achievable in the event market or via telephone at the present Tournament, or where feasible, in person at the player’s next scheduled Tournament (in addition to that Tournament’s ACES), then the player is expected to fulfill the commitment during such Tournament, or in person at the player’s next scheduled Tournament. In no event will a player be required to remain in an event market for more than twenty-four (24) hours after she withdraws in order to fulfill any ACES requirements. 

d. Extenuating circumstances including delayed or cancelled flights; it being understood that every attempt must be made to reschedule commitments upon arrival. 

e. Failure of the Communications staff or a Tournament to provide reasonable notice of a mandatory activity.
