"Which matches do and don’t count toward a player’s rating?
All USTA Leagues (i.e., 18 & Over, 40 & Over, 55 & Over, 65 & over, Mixed) are included in the Year-End Rating calculation. Mixed Doubles divisions will only have an effect on the ratings of players who played exclusively Mixed Doubles. Each Section has the option to include or exclude other adult leagues as well as NTRP tournaments. Ladders, non-sanctioned leagues, and non-sanctioned tournament results shall not be used to produce Year-End Ratings."

It seems to say all USTA mixed leagues are included. But "other" adult leagues and tournaments are up to the section. Is that a new rule?
What do you guys make of this:
"Can a player declare self-rating for different Adult Divisions (e.g., 3.5 for Adult 18 & Over, and 4.0 for Adult 40 & Over?
No. Once a player declares an initial self-rating, the player is bound by it for two years or until they generate a computer rating."
I self rated at 3.0 back in June. What does this mean: "the player is bound by it for two years or until they generate a computer rating."
If for example I get a mixed 3.5 will that allow me to change my self rate? Or will I have to remain a self rate 3.0 and therefore risk getting disqualified if I play in a 3.5 league? I suppose a DQ at the higher level would not cost me or my team anything right? No games would be forfeited and I would be able to continue to compete I guess.
