The 2019 USTA League season is nearly over, what is your rating?

This weekend is the last weekend that has Adult Nationals with the 55 & Over being wrapped up in Arizona.  While 40 & Over Mixed is still to be played next weekend, the completion of Adult Nationals means the rating year for 2019 closes on November 10th.

With the closing of the rating year, the USTA will now go about calculating year-end ratings which are typically published the week after Thanksgiving.  I'd guess the target date to publish the ratings is Monday December 2nd.

While that is just over 3 weeks away as I write this, not really all that long to wait, some players are impatient and want to get an idea of where they stand and the chances of a bump up or down, or just like to know more details about how their matches rated.  For these players, I continue to offer my Estimated Dynamic NTRP Rating Reports that, while not perfect, give a very good idea of where a player's rating stands.

Want to know where a whole team stands?  Or are you a captain looking to do some recruiting?  I offers reports for these situations too.

If you are interested in any report, contact me and I'll provide more details.

  1. Is there a rule that 65 and over can't get bumped?

    1. No, but there is a provision in the regulations for 65+ players to be able to appeal down if bumped up and not over the clearly above threshold.

    2. Gotcha. If they appeal down then they would be once again subjected to the 3 strike rule?
