Notes:

[8-24-26 - update - GL "suspended indefinitely" in connection with "Economic D-Day". See Suspension of Certain Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations General Licenses and Treasury Launches Unprecedented Campaign Against Iranian Regime on Economic D-Day (Treasury Press Release).]

1) License builds on licensing policy re: "sports exchange programs" at 560.545. See notable guidance letter at Case No. IA-2018-351723-1.

2) This activity would have licensed the conduct penalized in Civil Enforcement Information - ATP Tour, Inc. (2013).
