The summer season runs from April 1 to August 31 and the winter season from September 1 to March There are ratings runs at the end of each season and also mid-season runs, which take place half way through each summer and winter season.
The bi-annual seasonal runs look at all results recorded during both halves of the competition season. The quarterly runs look at results recorded from the beginning of the competition season up to a published mid-season cut off date. Players are more likely increase their ratings at the end of a competition season than during the shorter mid-season periods. For yellow ball, a qualifying win is a win against an opponent rated the same or higher than you.
Example: if your rating is 6. A qualifying loss is a loss against a player rated lower than you. Example: if your rating is 7. For yellow ball, the quarterly ratings run system event end dates dictate the season in which matches will count for your rating. For example, if you play a match in August, but the competition event ends in September, that match will not count until the mid-season winter ratings run. The only exceptions to this rule are events in summer county closed tournaments results from these events will count for summer end of season ratings runs and league matches in which match dates have been set.
If you are a player with a rating of 8. Your new rating will depend on results achieved during the previous half season period or entire season. Match results must be processed and showing on your player profile in order to count.
Results used to increase your rating in the mid-season calculation will also be used for the end of season review as this takes into account competitive activity over the entire winter or summer competition season. Ratings runs always look at players' ratings as they stand at the time of the run. Updated rankings are published annually at the start of the calendar year, and reflect how players compare in a given division after a full year of competition.
National Standing Lists NSL are published monthly and calculate player standings based on a rolling week period. NSLs may be used for seeding tournaments, among other factors. For more information on the Adult Tournament Alignment, please review the resources below. From the true beginner 1. Ratings are generated through NTRP play in both tournaments and leagues. Overall performance is tracked and fluctuates throughout the year as you play. If you are playing a level above rated 2.
Also, if you lose , I'm thinking that does NOT affect my 2. Every match result can affect your rating, the exception being some , matches in certain cases.
What if you are an inconsistent player, rated 4. Would you earn 3 strikes because of the 3 great wins and therefore be disqualified from 4. It depends on the section. Most sections do include Tri-Level, but Southern for example doesn't include anything other than the "advancing" leagues, e.
If two self-rated players play against each other, and they have each played at least one prior match against computer-rated players, would said match count toward their dNTRP? Or would it be withheld due to insufficient data?
Can you explain how strikes work in a little more detail? I have two friends that are rated 4. Does a strike happen when their dynamic rating goes above 4.
The strike thresholds are higher than just being the top of the range. The USTA does not publish what they are, but it is generally believed that the threshold for a 4. Hi, Kevin, I stumbled upon your website and find it to be very interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My question is: Is it true that if you want to move up a rating quickly, you should play and win singles matches than doubles? I heard winning a few singles matches can bring your ratings up quickly.
Or is that a myth? It is a bit of a myth, you can increase your rating quickly in either singles or doubles, but simply because it is common for stronger players to play singles, it is sometimes true that winning easily in singles will improve your rating more quickly. Can you explain how will playing a self-rated or rated player who never plays more than 3 matches will effect someone's rating? For instance, If someone gal who plays mostly mixed doubles and is rated a 3.
She has very mixed results on her matches, but her level when she plays well is easily 4. She also has played a lot of 4. How could this effect someone? The player would likely have an "M" rating from their Mixed play, but never get a "C" rating for their Adult play if they always only play no more than 2 matches per year. So I believe for the purposes of the Adult matches they are always a self-rate and their opponents would never have a rating calculated from playing them.
In they actually DID play a lot of doubles. In , only 2 doubles matches, and 3 mixed 8. In so far, 1 doubles match. So, I'm correcting myselfshe did have quite a few doubles matches in How often can you appeal your rating?
I have heard you can appeal after every match played I've always thought you could only appeal your year-end rating on-line. ESRs can be appealed, but usually are done manually or at least with a special team number and not the "Appeal your rating" link. But I've heard of people trying to appeal after every match, but never heard it being successful.
Do you happen to know the cut off date for the end of year rankings? Do you know which areas include tournaments in their year end ratings and which don't?
For example, does NorCal include tournaments in their ratings? Or just league matches? HI Kevin, I noticed in an earlier response you mentioned that age being over 55 can affect your upward rating movement. While I am an upper 2. However, I am very interested in knowing whether my age will play a part in my ability to move up.
We are a very small town and there would not be enough players for an older league. Plus, I really love playing the younger players and can give them a run for their money, even at the 3. How concerned should I be that my age will be a future obstacle for upward movement?
The rules for seniors are regarding being able to auto-appeal down in some cases, or not being bumped up at all in others. Kevin, Can you explain more about how someone becomes a benchmark player instead of moving up. There was a woman in our league who was a dynamo on the court and won all of the local tournaments in both singles and doubles, often beating her doubles partner in singles.
At the end of the season, her partner moved up but she did not. This actually happened to her two seasons - it took her an extra year to move up in spite of her winnings. Someone said that she was probably a benchmark player. That designations seems to be the kiss of death! I am a little worried about becoming a benchmark player myself. My understanding is that benchmark players cannot appeal.
