Why do people give ranges in their NTRP rating?

g4, you are correct, if that guy is self-rated, then that would not be a strike. So, it looks like he got strikes on match 1, 2, and 4.

Seems to me that that self-rated player is about as much a sandbagger as your friend who got DQ'd.

Gameboy, turns out the DQed guy had a "D" rating and not a "S". He didn't get enough matches in last year to have a "C" rating, but he was still DQed. I barely know the guy, so were not really friends, but we were co-workers.

He must have self-rated in 2008 or 2009, then didn't get a "C" rating at the end of the year, as he didn't play enough matches. Unless you have a "C" or "B" rating, you are still vulnerable to a DQ.

The self-rater beat a guy on my team 2&2. Looks he will get bumped to 4.0, but I'm not sure what will happen to me. I've only been able to get in five matches so far this season due to two rainouts. I have a chance to get in two more matches, which would hopefully give me enough matches to get a "C" rating at the end of the year.

I think I did this once. If I ticked you off sorry, but I thought it was reasonable for me to say so as I'm a junior. As a junior I don't have a rating, so I give a rough estimate of where I'm around based on videos in the Tips/Instruction section of the forum.

I think Usta should get rid of these ratings. Once you go past 4.0, the differences are very subtle and we are talking of experienced tennis players.
They should just have the ratings up till 4 and everything above that they should just have a advanced division.
