The 18 & Over and 40 & Over Mixed Nationals are still to be played the second two weekends in November, but since those matches only count for players that get Mixed-exclusive ratings, the 2018 ratings year is effectively done for everyone that played at least three Adult league matches.
The next big event then is the publishing of year-end ratings. That typically happens the week after Thanksgiving, but with Thanksgiving being early in the month this year, I'm not sure if that is what we should expect, or if the normally anticipated first Monday in December is the date. I will do some investigation and report what I learn.
Note of course, even when there is a target date, it isn't a sure thing and the actual publishing date can move around a bit. Last year though, there was a countdown timer on TennisLink, will we get that again?
Should you be interested in where your rating may be, or just want to get more information on how you've done in 2018, now is a great time to get one of my Estimated Dynamic NTRP Rating reports.
And it is never too early to start recruiting for next year. In some areas, 2019 leagues that use the 2018 year-end ratings will start at the beginning of January and there isn't a whole lot of time from when ratings are published to when rosters have to be turned in and matches are played. I can do a variety of team or recruiting reports, or lists of ratings for an area, to help captains identify who is likely to be at what level and who the highest rated players are so they can seek them out to join their team.
If you are interested in any of my reports, contact me for more information.
