Question about Tournament and League Play for a self-rated player
As I stated in the other thread I attempted to get a C rating last year in a 3.0 ladder but few were USTA members so it wasn't a sanctioned tournament.
Now I'm in a 3.5 and doing ok, but the play is more 3.0's with a couple 3.5's. We'll have a sanctioned 3.5 event in a couple weeks.
If I win a match or 2 I'll have some 3.5 points, will that preclude me from playing my 3.0 league that starts in May and/or other tournaments at a 3.0 level? I thought I read that once you play up in a tournament you can no longer play down.
Or will they look at who I've played and how they are mostly 3.0 rated players and allow me to continue with 3.0 league play.
Thanks for all the info on the boards to date.
