Anyone else see that self rate players are being watched really closely this year. Seems like since the big move up the USTA is really watching to see how captains fill their rosters. I know of 3 people that have been moved up already mid season in our section. One started as a 5.0 self rate but was a computer rated 5.0, 3 years ago and has not played USTA since. One match played and he is DQ'd and moved to 5.5. The second one on the same team is a self rate 5.0 former high school player, played only one match and DQ'd mid season to 5.5. The third is a guy from europe that was playing on our 4.5 team as a self rate 4.5. He is 26 and won 2 matches 6-4,6-4 and then 7-6,6-3. He has also been DQ'd and moved to 5.5 mid season. Both captains have been told that if they have even one more minor infraction that they will be suspended from USTA for a year.
Any one else see this in other sections, we are in Intermountain.
