The following occurs as a result of the above Time Violations: **- First Offence:** Warning\ \&#xNAN;**- Second Offence - Receiver:** Point Penalty (The player's opposition are given the next point in the game)\ \&#xNAN;**- Second Offence - Server:** Serve Loss (The server is given a fault)\ \&#xNAN;**- Third and Subsequent Offences - Receiver:** Point Penalty (The player's opposition are given the next point in the game)\ \&#xNAN;**- Third and Subsequent Offences - Server:** Serve Loss (The server is given a fault) This will continue for as long as the umpire sees fit. If the Time Violations continue, then the umpire is within their right to start issue Code Violations (see [here](https://img-arena.gitbook.io/tennis/-M-nnUijRFbIhBBjSfUz/code-violations-game-penalties-and-defaults)). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
