Question: How should a player's rating be handled if he/she
has a"M" or "T" exclusive rating, but also has a valid "B" or "C" rating from a previous year and is now being required to self-rate to join an Adult, Senior or Super Senior team?
Answer Scenario 3. When the player self-rates and is given a
lower rating than their valid “C” or “B” rating:
a. If the player has not registered for a team, he/she should
be moved up to his/her valid "C" or "B" rating by the
coordinator with the proper date and sent to TennisLink for
system-wide change.
b. If the player has registered for a team, but not
played, he/she should be encouraged to move up
to his/her valid "C" or "B" rating. If the player chooses not
to move up, he/she continues with his/her "S" rating and is
subject to dynamic disqualification and NTRP Grievances.
c. If the player has played a match at the lower self-rating
level and decides to remain at the lower
level, he/she continues with his/her "S" rating and is
subject to dynamic disqualification and NTRP Grievances.
d. If the player has played a match at the lower rating level
and decides to move up to his/her valid "C" or "B" rating,
the coordinator would change the player to his/her valid "C"
or "B" rating with the proper date and and submit a report
for system-wide change. Any matches played at the lower
rating level have been done so in good faith and stand
