    Is it feasible to create my own 3.5 USTA team in NJ?

    Hi, Im in *******, however I put together and captained an independent team this season. You will need to contact your local league coordinator, possibly attend a captains meeting and you should be given a team number where players can log into tennislink and add themselves to your roster and...

    Timed Match?

    Bump?

    Not sure why I am doing this again, but season just ended and I can't help myself. Anyone want to hazard a guess on whether I will get bumped? I've left out any default wins, although I know the true 6-0, 6-0 wins won't count I put them in anyway. Here is my record: 2.5 doubles: wins-...

    Competition on the courts and the side lines - womens league tennis

    Sad to hear that some ladies leagues are like that. Have played with the same group of ladies for 2 years now on several different teams and haven't has any issues like that. They are all supportive of each other and genuinely happy when a teammate wins, even if they lose their own match...

    usta NTRP algorithm?

    Hi, had this come up last night at a match. If your goal is to move up, should you try to drop one game in a match that you are easily winning. Have had 3 matches this season that have been 6-0, 6-0 wins. Would hate to have them not count towards a ratings bump. One pro at my club said they...

    Would you call them on it?

    Thanks for the responses. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but they did have a little conference before switching. I served the first game, so I know they didn't switch at the beginning of the set. Anyway, they seemed like nice ladies, but if it were to happen again, I would point it...

    Would you call them on it?

    Played a match the other day at 3.0 level. Won the first set 6-1. Won the first two games in the second set and then the opponents switched sides mid-set. Partner and I decided not to say anything (didn't want to seem *****y). We won the set 6-0, so no harm, no foul. But what if they would...

    NTRP rating question???

    Well no bump for me???? I am still a 2.5, but with a benchmark rating. Guess I should be happy, now I can play both 2.5 and 3.0, so I will get more matches in, but I have to admit I am disappointed. Of the 12 on my team, only 3 were bumped to 3.0 and the weird thing is that they had similar...

    2011 Year End Ratings Release Thread

    How do you know if your rating has stayed the same or just hasn't been updated yet? I was a self rated 2.5 and there is not a letter next to the rating (c or b or s?). It still just says 2.5 and then appeal rating next to it?

    NTRP rating question???

    A gal on my team is a second year computer rated 2.5. She never lost even a set all season in singles or doubles, always played first court in both. She worked hard and improved a ton since her 1st season. She can't be dq'd right? But a beginner who honestly self rates as a 2.5 and works...

    Has the shreiking gotten out of hand?

    What do you think about a female 3.0 usta league player who screams "YES" before/during every volley she hits? Definately distracting when you are at net across from her. Always apologizes after but does it a dozen times a match. It's very loud and most of her opponents are usually so...

    NTRP rating question???

    Thanks, just curious. Looks like quite a few of the matches we played were against computer rated players, so they must have played 2.5 prior to the 2011 season to get a computer rating and are not all complete newbies like my team.

    NTRP rating question???

    So how does the computer calculate a rating if most of your matches are against other 2.5 self rated players?

    NTRP rating question???

    I was completely new to tennis in September, 2010, seriously had never held a racquet before and had never participated in any sport beyond my 30 minutes on the treadmill while watching tv! Being that I am in my 40's and not particulary athletic, although in decent shape, I took the advice of...

    NTRP rating question???

    Thanks for the input. Sorta bummed to find out that the 6-0, 6-0 win doesn't count, We were pretty proud of that one! Is it because the computer can't distinguish between true wins and defaults? If that is the case, should players that want all of their wins to count towards a rating boost...

    NTRP rating question???

    Hi all! Curious about ntrp ratings, and wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether I will get bumped to 3.0. I am a new player as of September 2010. Never played any high school or college sports. Self rated at 2.5 as suggested by the pro at my club. Played on a 2.5 women's team in...

    2.5 District Championship advice

    Thanks for the advice! I planned on playing everyone, but found out that the 2.5 level only plays 1 singles and 2 doubles courts per match at districts. We have 2 matches, so no way to play everyone. Was hoping some players would be unavailable for the matches to make my life easier, but of...

    2.5 District Championship advice

    Hi All! New to this forum, and to tennis in general. Picked up a racket for the first time a little less than a year ago and fell in love with the sport. Ended up captaining a womens 2.5 team with almost all first time players. Somehow, miraculously ended up qualifying for district...
