USTA League Georgia State 18+ Tournament Part 2

The post I did on the 18 & over Georgia State Tournament was very popular on Facebook with a number of comments and a bit of smack talk about who the favorites were for the 4.0 Women.  Due to popular demand, here is a preview of those groups.

Again, these are using my Estimated Dynamic NTRP Ratings to calculate top-8 averages for each roster, and this time, I'm excluding players that were DQ'd during the year and ineligible.  Note I did update the prior post to reflect that too.

Here are the Women's 4.0 groups:

Rank	Team	Average
1	USTA Atlanta/Danielle Bolin	4.15
2	COTA/Kellie Borders	3.97
3	NOGTA/Stacy Junkins	3.94
4	USTA Atlanta/Candace Cole	3.85
5	Southern Crescent/Debbi Seelye	3.83

Rank	Team	Average
1	USTA Atlanta/Rene Beavers	3.94
2	SATA/Danielle Sussman	3.92
3	COTA/Tonya Bell	3.91
4	EVTA/Dede Putman	3.87
5	Cherokee/Tamara Watkins	3.83

Rank	Team	Average
1	USTA Atlanta/Tammy Alderman	4.01
2	SATA/Leslie Shields	3.93
3	NEGTA/Linda Heimbigner	3.85
4	USTA Atlanta/Samantha Pappas	3.83
5	CVTA/Carol Pearson	3.78

Rank	Team	Average
1	CORTA/Alexis Miller	4.00
2	Cherokee/Susan Cruickshank	3.91
3	Southern Crescent/Sharon Greiner	3.91
4	USTA Atlanta/Renee Dutton	3.85
5	CVTA/Marsha Thompson	3.80

It appears Atlanta/Bolin is the prohibitive favorite if they bring and play their best.  After that, it is closer and fairly balanced.  Will the favorites win each group and Bolin take it all?

I can of course do the above reports with a different number of top players, or do full flight reports showing the average for full rosters by level.

If I have time, I'll report back on this level plays out to see how the ratings did at predicting.  But if anyone wants more information on these flights, perhaps a team report on your own team or others to scout them, or you want flight reports on other flights, contact me.
