The number to the right of the appeal available seems to correspond with how many matches the player played ... at least on the ones I spot checked
Hey, we know TR must read my blogBrilliant! Can't appeal if you play 10 matches.

If you sit on a committee or a board or are a league coordinator for a district you typically find out before the public.Does USTA ever announce the date, or does it remain a surprise?

They announced it last year ... and surprise, their count-down (to the second) didn't exactly work ....
Why are the last estimated dynamic rating and the projected year end rating so different for a lot of people. [...] what are the reasons for non playoff playing people to have differences like that? I'm seeing differences of up to a 0.10 from inaction.
Don't know why that slipped my mind. I guess I didn't expect adjustments to be all that big.Even non-playoff players get their ratings adjusted at year's end, based on how they did against players who played in the playoffs, combined with how those opponents did in the playoffs. This helps calibrate the ratings at different parts of the country, so that ultimately just about everyone's rating gets adjusted by the scores in the shortest sequence of matches connecting them to the national champions.
This is incorrect. Starting with 2017 year end ratings, players with 10 matches could appeal successfully. Naturally it's very rare.Hey, we know TR must read my blog
I mean I stare at it because I like stats. I think by now a lot people that go on there aren't in it for the projections. The rest of the website is pretty good.The real question is how wrong does the site need to be for people to stop wasting their lives staring at it?
At best, TR might have 35% correct and that's of their projections for a bump or dump. That's not including all the ones they're not projecting either way who will move. Furthermore, if all the people getting promoted simply because they played up and had no "at level" results to pull them down and all the no brainers were removed, their overall accuracy rating will drop to likely under 15-20%. (That's strictly looking at the total projected to move and those they miss - not all those that stay at level.)
You are clearly a man and not a 3.0 woman. lol

For example TR showed me I was averaging more games per first set than second set so I spent the year really trying to focus during my second sets and I upped my average games won by a good amount. It's not always about the ratings.
You like to play more tennis, nothing wrong with that ;-)I did something similar at end of last year ... I really hate tie-breakers and was playing a lot of them.
Stats showed I was getting slow start in the 1st set, coming in strong in 2nd set and then the 3rd breaker.
So put my focus on starting faster ... it worked: won many more first sets by wider margins. And now having 2nd set let downs and still playing a lot of 3rd set breakers .... just a head case I guess

Are you saying that the 10 match rule is no longer in effect for auto appeals?
I just need to be the player that the club can blame for why the courts are backed up later in the day.
Oh, court 12 is an hour behind schedule? yeah, that is because OnTheLine was playing at 8am and went 2.5 hours again.
Not sure if anyone shared this yet or how it will coordinate with other sections: Northern sent an email out stating that ratings would be up 11/29.
Color me shocked. LOL
Played friendly sets with a group of 5 others today ... all are completely stressed out ... as if the entire world will end if they don't have the YE rating they want.
great link to a pretty good little article
Notice the guy expressly stated that HE was a 5.0 but YOUR rating doesn't matter.
J
says the guy who wants to be a 5.0, right?
I am hoping that none of my teammates stroke out before the end of the week. Some of my favorite people/players are in a state of complete panic. This is in spite of sharing schmeke ratings with them showing that they are nearly all "fine".
I'm pretty certain what my rating will be (thanks to @schmke), but as a captain, I'm anxious about a handful of players that are on the cusp. Will be a frenzy of activity the morning after ratings come out, as captains and players scramble to make sense of the impact of the ratings surprises.
Well, two things... I don't think they're nearly that bad at calling bumps, but then I'm not sure how you're selecting the group of people.The real question is how wrong does the site need to be for people to stop wasting their lives staring at it?

TR is weird, they had my rating at 3.4891 at the cutoff for matches counting. Now their site says my projected year end is 3.5108 as a 4.0C Medium (Appeal Available). What does that even mean? I didn't think a 3.51 was even in the range of an appeal.
Meanwhile my teammate was 3.5129 at the cutoff but somehow with a projected year end of 3.5020 as a 4.0C Medium with no appeal available. How is a 3.5020 not appeal eligible if a 3.5108 is?
Is anyone here from NorCal? If so, could you check your NorCal Player Page to see whether the post "2018 year-end ratings" at
https://www.usta.com/en/home/stay-current/northerncalifornia/YearEndRatings.html
is actually saying that 2018 year-end ratings for NorCal players were available 5 days ago? The title and date of the post imply that, but the text talks about December 1 in the past tense, so it seems like something got mixed up. It would be strange it one section had ratings before others...
That is what I think happened. They copied the page from last year, started (but didn't finish) making changes to it to prep for the ratings being published, and accidentally made the page live. Nice false alarm.Looks like they have the page ready to go and it wasn’t supposed to be “live” yet. Nice find.

In this case I think it is someone in NorCal, not National at least ...Idiots.

LOL,,, I had NO idea people were so obsessed................... WOW. I always had been middle of the 4.5 and never really thought about this but,,,,,,,,,,,LOL
If people didn’t obsess about USTA ratings, there would be:
- No tanking matches
- No staying up until 2am to see the year-end rankings
- No 80 comment-deep facebook posts about ratings
- Everyone would focus more on improving their tennis games
- More players would play at the level they really should play at
USTA knows that if you are bumped to 5.0, you will have very few teams to play on and that will be detrimental to USTA spirit. so by letting you stay on 4.5 rating, you can do whatever you want, stay 4.5 or play on 5.0 team. USTA is for freedom and rights of people/players, and they are American spirit 100 %From the article:

Several of my friends have had the following seemingly illogical ratings determinations:
haha...my friend (who runs this site) - was talking about me last year...maybe i can stay 4.5 again, since i didn't go to nationals...
- Went 9-0 in sectionals and nationals and stayed a 4.5 "
also, i heard ratings will be out Thursday or Friday (maybe thursday midnight?)...
I heard you’re getting bumped back up to 5.0.From the article:
