the flip side of this is where a USTA rated player moves overseas (it happens, really!) and wants to play in, say, Australia.
We can take his USTA rating and accurately grade him in to one our leagues, 'cos it works!
However, using your argument, the reverse would not be true, as only 'USTA computer ratings' apparently count for anything...

this is an utterly bizarre thread, really
