G. No substitutions allowed in doubles competition.
H. Tennis Waiver ‐ The IHSAA shall have the authority to grant a waiver to the 50% rule when, if in the opinion of the IHSAA, the student’s school provides satisfactory proof to the IHSAA that:
1. the student missed compliance with the 50% rule by a minimal number of her team’s season contests or matches;
2. the student’s failure to meet the 50% criteria was for clear, verifiable reasons, such as a debilitating injury or illness and;
3. the student’s failure to meet the 50% criteria was the result of reasons which were beyond the control of the student, the parents, the coach and the school.    

The IHSAA will waive the 50% rule only in extraordinary and compelling cases and only when the request is submitted in writing to the IHSAA at least one week prior to the beginning date of the Team Tournament. The new qualifying rule for doubles should allow for flexibility that will alleviate the need for a waiver.
