I just received a notice that I was DQ'd at the 3.0 level, which is very surprising to me. I started playing tennis in the fall and had a 4-5 record. After taking a bunch of lessons over the winter, this spring I'm off to a 4-0 start (2 in 3rd-set-tiebreaks). I've also played two 3.5 matches (one #3 doubles we won in a tiebreak, & one #2 singles I lost 6-0,6-2).
I figured I was probably going to be bumped up at the end of the season (was my goal), but to be disqualified and for my team to have to go from the top of the standings to the bottom seems very harsh.
How do the 3 strikes work, and why would I receive the strikes? Also I was under the impression that I had a computer rating after playing the fall 2013 season, and that once you had a computer rating you couldn't be disqualified. Is this not true?
