RATINGS

2012 -  Please check the TennisLink site.

When and how do I get a SELF-RATING?

MIDWEST SECTION Self-rate appeal process.

The Self Rate Appeal approval/denial process for the USTA League program will now be handled at the section level as of September 1, 2011. This process will apply to all 2011 and 2012 self rating appeals submitted on or after September 1, 2011. It applies to both those appeals that are submitted online and offline.

Online Self Rate Appeals (defined as those appeals that are submitted when the player immediately appeals online after answering the self rate questions)

1. All player information regarding the player’s appeal will be downloaded from TennisLink by the staff person daily (Monday-Friday).

2. Research will be done by the staff person and documented for each appeal

3. Documentation will be made available to a group of volunteers who will evaluate the player information and make a decision on the rating of the player

4. Members of the volunteer group will not vote on players appealing from the state in which the volunteer resides

5. Once the final rating has been determined (by the volunteer group), the player will be notified by the USTA/Midwest Section and a copy will be sent to the districts.

6. The player’s rating will be then approved/denied on TennisLink

Offline Self Rate Appeals (defined as those appeals that are submitted directly to a district when a player does not immediately appeal online after answering the self rate questions online)

1. When a player requests an offline appeal through their District League Coordinator, the DLC will e-mail the player the player appeal (history) form

2. The player history form will be returned (by the DLC or directly from the player) to the USTA/Midwest office through a designated e-mail mailbox (Diane@midwest.usta.com )

3. Research will be done by the staff person and documented for each appeal.

4. Documentation will be made available to a group of volunteers who will evaluate the player information and make a decision on the rating of the player

5. Members of the volunteer group will not vote on players appealing from the state in which the volunteer resides

6. Once the final rating has been determined (by the volunteer group), the player will be notified by the USTA/Midwest Section and a copy will be sent to the districts.

7. The player’s rating will be approved/denied on TennisLink


The USTA/Midwest Section is committed to an objective, consistent and timely self rate appeal process and will be evaluating the process in the next four months to provide the best customer service to both our players and our districts.

All medical appeals must call the DLC prior to any documents being sent. Please call the league office 330-677-5219.

Important information for all team captains and team members: With the start of the 2008 league season - those ratings earned for play in any championship will not be appealable when the league season ratings are posted in November. This means that if your match that you have played is listed in the championship section of TennisLink; you will be affected. If you do participate in a match in the championship, you will earn a bench mark rating; thus will not be able to appeal your rating for one year. Any questions about this; please contact your level coordinator.

Not an Official USTA or NEOTA league Website about ratings is on the internet!

This website mentioned below is NOT sanctioned by the USTA or NEOTA. The person does NOT have the USTA algorithms to publish any USTA NTRP Ratings. This has nothing to due with the USTA/Midwest/NEOTA League Program.

Do NOT believe what you see at this site!
