Home / Adult Leagues / Captain Information / Formal Complaint/Grievance FormFormal Complaint/Grievance Form Formal Complaint/Grievance Form Descriptions Please read this important information about Formal Complaints and Grievances: Formal Complaint - A Formal Complaint is a process in which USTA Colorado will communicate the issues noted in the Formal Complaint to the named individual(s) and ask the individual(s) to immediately cease the reported behavior. The person filing the Formal Complaint remains anonymous. Unlike a Grievance (see below), there is no further action - no committee involvement or final determination. However, if we receive multiple Formal Complaints against the same individual(s), USTA Colorado may escalate this to a Grievance. Grievance - A grievance is a formal process in which the named individual(s) may submit a rebuttal to the original grievance. Individual filing the original grievance will be known as all parties are copied on all correspondence. The original grievance and rebuttal are then sent to the District League Grievance Committee or Tournament Committee for review. The committee will render a decision, which may include suspension points. The grievance decision may be appealed. For leagues, there are specific USTA National Regulations that explain the deadlines for filing a grievance. There is a $75 filing fee for all grievances. If suspension points are issued only to the accused party, the person filing the grievance is refunded the $75 filing fee. If the filing party receives any suspension points, a refund will not be provided. Only a team captain may file a league grievance. Do you wish to file a Formal Complaint or a Grievance?
