Path to 3.5?

if you are 2-0 on the 3.5 level you should be considered for dq in my opinion unless you played 3.0 players on the 3.5 level. your win loss matches dont count so for me on the other hand i got moved up a couple years to early.
in 06 i played 2 matches that counted for ratings i won 6-0, 6-4, and 6-7,7-5, 1-0 my total on matches that counted 26-16
i got bumped to 3.5 my first year as 3.5 was in 2007 where i won a total of 43 games and lost 68.. i didnt get moved backed down. in 2008 my total on matches that counted was 47 games for 89 games against.. i didn't get moved down. this year so far i have played 1 match lost 6-0, 6-0... however this year is the first year i should really be a 3.5.. the player i played with honestly should be a 3.5.. the 3.0 player he played doubles with last year that helped him get a 3-2 record did not move up to 3.5 he should have been the one to move up not the guy i played with.. anyhow he is really a 2.5 player honestly and one of our opponents was a 4.0 really so the 0 and 0 didn't suprise me.. anyhow, my point is if you are 2-0 already on 3.5 you should be in jeopardy of a dq... i love the fact the computer rated players are not at risk of dq and self rates and appeal players are constantly at risk.. this was a great rule change!!!
 
this is another topic altogether but,
its crazy that all your matches dont count.. if you factor in sanctioned tournaments, adult, and mixed EVERY match should count..
well most people know if you play adult, mixed dont count why not??
if you played a 6-0, 6-0 match it doesnt count which is ridiculous
if you play a sanctioned tournament in the southern its not a part of the equation for your year end ntrp..

i think we can all agree the more matches you play the more accurate your rating is.. some people sandbag adult, to try to win mixed, well if all of your matches counted it would encourage less people sandbagging because they'd have to do it all the time. i have never given anyone a game obviously as you can see from the game scores i have reported in the last post but anyway its off topic and i guess i was ranting a bit..
i don't know how your league is but my 3.5 league this year seems like it is the same 3.0 league we had when i was a beginner it seems like its the same people locally that is was 4 or 5 years ago

this should read the player i played with should be a 2.5 not 3.5
