Hi, is anyone aware of a more detailed description of the NTRP ratings system than the standard fare?

I'm having trouble interpreting the meaning of the system.
For example, if someone fails one of the baseline categories for 4.0 by, say having a lack of depth control on the backhand, but some advanced skills like a mean kick serve and an advanced weapon like a very dependable shoulder level dip drive, does this mean that they are still a NTRP 3.5 because they don't qualify for the 4.0 level rating on the backhand stroke? This would seem odd, considering that in the modern game, 80 of strokes are forehands (at least at the NCAA level of play)
