2010 Yr end ratings

[vizsla]

Any word if the year end ratings will be published around the same time as years prior (usually the Monday after Thanksgiving)???

we've heard that it will be status quo here in CO
won't matter much to me as I only played 2 tournaments and 1 League match...won some matches against some who will likely be bumped..but likely not enough body of work to join them..and I'm ok with that

We've been told the new ratings will come out the week after the last mixed national championships, which ends on Nov. 21st. The results from the mixed championships is needed to factor in to the year-end ratings for mixed exclusive players. So, with the tournament ending on Sunday, Nov. 21st, I would expect the new ratings to come out within the following week (Monday or Tuesday after Thanksgiving).

Anyone have any insight on the "adjustments"? Are we to expect similar % of bump ups as last year?

This was posted on our state's website today:

The rating calculation process for 2010 ratings is underway. It will include matches played from Nov 2nd 2009 thru Oct 31st 2010. The expected date of publication is November 29th 2010

I've heard ALTA players can get their new USTA ratings now by signing up for ALTA team.

I'm confused, according to USTA, my year-end is not until like end of FEB 2011. Am I reading wrong or is it state dependent? Or maybe related to last rating period?

A guy who is a coordinator for a local district told us to expect another bump up of approximately the same magnitude. He claimed that this was always supposed to be a 2-year process.

I was informed by a USTA rep that year end ranking would be published to tennislink Dec. 1st.

Thanks for the info. I hope to be moved up to 3.5, but I might be borderline..

That would be stupid. Hopefully he doesnt know what he's talking about.

The logistics of it are just not ideal if they want to really be about growing tennis.

Maybe this bump will finally cure my terminal case of 3.0.

I feel like a kid who has repeated 8th grade three times. Some of the people I started with in 2007 are 4.0s now.

Well, I will say that he did have inside knowledge. He rattled off a list of 8-10 folks I know and play with that would be bumped up for early start ratings and gave their ratings to the hundreths place. Sure enough every one was bumped up. That does not mean he was right about the mass bump ups but it certainly confirmed his credibility for me.

ratings will be released around 11/28. In my local league we were told not to expect any huge number of players changing like last year. Everyone's ratings are adjusted at the end of each year, regarless of when and how many matches you play each season.

Stop making up the dates and go by what the USTA Site says.

Baseless conjecture and unsupported facts are the American Way.

I thought the new ratings always came out the week after Thanksgiving so that the new ratings would take into account the results from the mixed national championships held in November. From the above wording found on Tennis Link, that appears to not be the case.

I'm surprised the cutoff is Oct 31st... Also read in the past it was after the mixed national championships (and the others) were completed.

If someone gets bumped, who wasn't bumped in the early start list, and is currently an early start league are they then ineligible to complete the season?
