SELF-RATE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR 2009

Players must self-rate accurately, according to NTRP criteria. New or returning players who enter the USTA League Tennis Program by self-rating at least one NTRP level (.5) below their actual skill level are considered by the USTA League Committee to be violating the standards of good conduct, fair play and good sportsmanship, in accordance with the provisions of USTA League Tennis Regulation 2.02. To deal with those alleged violations, the following guidelines may be implemented:

1) A complaint may be filed by a captain, coordinator or member of a championship committee against the player and/or captain who enters or condones entering one level or more below actual skill level.
2) The Section Grievance Committee having jurisdiction, augmented as necessary by experts in NTRP ratings, may ask the alleged violator to complete the USTA Player Background Profile sheet and submit it to the committee for review.  After review, the committee will take action as it deems appropriate.
3) This action may include disqualification, suspension from league play or other league sanctions.  
4) The Section Grievance Committee decision may be appealed in accordance with Regulation 2.03 of USTA League Tennis Regulations.
