Sectional League Coordinator Pam Leibfreid said: I am sure all league players are anxious to determine their new end-of-year rating. It is anticipated that ratings will be published some time the first week of December. Go into TennisLink, and click on Find a Rating. When the date states 12/31/09, you will know that is your end of year rating. Ratings are published by the USTA, and not by this office. Therefore, contacting us and asking about ratings will be of no help to you. If there is any change concerning when these ratings will be published, we will update this notice. Thanks and good luck to all of you.

Just one hour after takeoff, the plane’s left engine blew out and they were forced to make an emergency landing in Dallas. Jan Smith and Margie Eberling from the Mid-Atlantic women were on flight 2007. “My husband was a pilot so I knew a plane could fly just fine on one engine,” admitted Eberling. “But if that engine goes out there is definitely trouble.” Smith added, “The pilot did a great job of keeping everyone calm.”

Very few medical appeals should be granted, as it is usually better to let the computer determine the NTRP Skill Level based on actual match play. If injury or illness is not permanently disabling, an appeal cannot be granted even if treatment, recovery and/or rehabilitation may take a year or longer. Individuals respond to injuries and/or illnesses in different ways so it is hard to predict the impact on their skill level. Many illnesses, such as osteoarthritis, are chronic, progressive, permanent conditions. However, the rate of progression of the illness, resulting symptoms and degree of impairment, as well as reaction to medication and treatment, varies in different people. Most individuals actually play better after knee, hip and shoulder surgery due to decrease in pain and possible increase in mobility from their pre-operative status. Most individuals who have heart disease, cancer, etc., if medically released to play tennis, will probably be able to play at their previous skill level. If medically released to play tennis, potential pain, shortness of breath and risk of injury should not be factors in determining NTRP skill level, as these could occur no matter what NTRP level playing.
USTA Flex Leagues will be offered in 50 or more metro areas in 2009! After successful launches in 2008 in Miami, San Diego, Indianapolis, New York City, Chicago, Orlando, Phoenix, West Palm Beach, Orange County and Cincinnati, this USTA national program offers tennis players an opportunity to connect with new players in fun and competitive match play within a convenient schedule. League tennis competition tailored to meet your busy schedule. That's what USTA's new Flex Leagues are all about.

The USTA Sections will not be granting many medical appeals because it is usually better to let the computer determine the NTRP Skill Level based on actual match play. The Rationale is if the illness or injury is not permanently disabling, an appeal cannot be granted even if treatment, recovery and/or rehabilitation may take a year or longer. Individuals respond to illnesses or injuries in different ways, so it is hard to predict the impact on their skill level.

BENCHMARK (B) RATINGS ARE NOT APPEALABLE THE FIRST YEAR RECEIVED. All other ratings are appealable. If your appeal is granted and you have already registered on a team, contact me immediately and give me your name, USTA number, and your team number, with the request that the rating be changed on your roster.
The National USTA League Tennis Committee has issued "Self Rate Guidelines" which are effective immediately and provide a remedy for flagrant cases of mis-rating. Flagrant mis-rating is defined as a player who self-rates at one NTRP level when their actual skill level is at the top of the next NTRP level or higher. The National Leagues Committee considers such acts to be a violation of the standards of good conduct, fair play and good sportsmanship, to which all League players are bound per Regulation 2.02. A complaint may be filed by a captain, coordinator or member of a championship tournament committee against the player and/or captain who enters or condones entering at one NTRP level when their actual skill level is at the top of the next NTRP level or higher.

They were undefeated at districts, sectionals, and nationals. They accumulated a 5-0 record in Tucson.
