One-Star ITF Recognition
 | | ITF Recognition - 1 Star Logo |
To obtain One-Star ITF Recognition, the court is tested for quality of installation:
- Visual inspection. The court is inspected for visual flaws.
- Evenness (ITF CS 02/02). Undulations in the surface of the court are measured.
- Slope and planarity (ITF CS 03/03). The height of the surface is surveyed at a range of locations around the court.
- Dimensions (ITF CS 04/02). The positions of the lines and net are measured.
All test results must meet the recommendations contained in the ITF Guide to Test Methods for Tennis Court Surfaces to be eligible for One-Star Recognition.
Testing for One-Star Recognition shall be conducted by an ITF Accredited laboratory or other company approved in advance by the ITF.
Recipients of One-Star Recognition shall receive a certificate from the ITF, confirming that the court/s tested meet the recommendations of the ITF Guide to Test Methods for Tennis Court Surfaces.
Two-Star ITF Recognition

For a court to obtain Two-Star ITF Recognition the average Court Pace Rating (CPR) must be within 5 points of the ITF Classified value for the surface product (ITF CS 01/02).
If the surface product is not already classified, the product supplier may apply for ITF Classification of the surface product based on the results of the on-site test. The full ITF Classification fee will apply and classification will be valid for 3 years. For this purpose, the court must have been surfaced within the preceding 12 months.
Note: It is not possible for Two-Star ITF Recognition to be granted to courts where the surface product has not been classified under the ITF Court Pace Classification Programme.
Recipients of Two-Star Recognition shall receive a certificate from the ITF, confirming that the court/s tested meet the recommendations of the ITF Guide to Test Methods for Tennis Court Surfaces, and stating the category of Court Pace Rating.
