The metric I'll be using is the top-8 average for each team using my Estimated Dynamic NTRP Ratings and for these lists include the top-40 teams and ties. And to keep a little intrigue and anonymity, I'll be listing the area for the teams but not the team names. Contact me if you are interested in a report with the team specifics and more details.
I started the 40 & Over division with the 4.0 men and women, and 3.5 men and women, 3.0 men, and now the 3.0 women.

Like for the men, there are several early start Southern teams with players who are now 3.5s, but Northern California leads the way with a team with a whopping 3.36 top-8 average, but guess what? They didn't even make it to Sectionals let alone win there so they won't be at Nationals. Perhaps they had availability issues, but two of their top-8 didn't play at all at Districts and their top-2 only played 2 of the 3 matches. That is why the matches are played and not just figured on paper by the ratings!
If you are interested in a report like the above with even more information for your local league flight or to scout any level of playoffs, a flight report will fit the bill. Not only will you get the top-8 average for each team, but the overall average and a summary showing how each team has played their courts so you can see if they are stronger/weaker in singles vs doubles and if they tend to stack or not. Contact me if interested.
