PROTOCOL FOR THE USE OF THE ROOF

These basic principles will govern the use of the roof (from the All England Club):

(a) The Championships is an outdoor daytime event. Therefore, in good weather, the roof will only be used if it is too dark to play on without it.

(b) The Referee has ultimate control over use of the roof and his decision is final.

(c) Timings of scheduled play on the Centre Court in 2012 are intended to be on the same basis as 2011. This includes the number of matches and the likely timing of those matches to be put on the court. There can be many different circumstances which will govern the opening and the closing of the roof, hence the ultimate control of the Referee. That said, the following may be useful guidelines:

• Best efforts will be made to start play each day with the roof open. However, 45 minutes before the start of each day's play, the Referee will decide if the first match will start with the roof open or closed.

• If a match is suspended due to rain, the normal covers will first be deployed, before the roof is closed, and the match continued. Due to the change in playing conditions, players will get a full warm-up on returning to court. If the projected interruption is sufficiently brief, as determined by the Referee, the normal covers will be used and play then continued with the roof open.

• The Referee will decide to open or close the roof before the start of each subsequent match.

• Any match originally scheduled for the Centre Court will normally be completed if possible and if necessary the roof closed for reasons of rain or light. Any matches added to the original schedule may be stopped without the deployment of the roof at the discretion of the Referee.

• Changes to the order of play, including moving a match from another court onto the Centre Court, may be authorised in exceptional circumstances in the best interests of completing The Championships on schedule.
