NTRP RATING
Dynamic NTRP is an enhanced tennis rating system that generates player ratings after each match is played during the course of a season. Current Year End Ratings for all Missouri Valley Section players are available on TennisLink. Simply click on "Find A Rating" on the right hand side of the page.
Players may play in more than one NTRP level during the same season (i.e., at the level at which players are rated and one level above.
The NTRP difference between members of an individual doubles pair may not exceed 1.0.
SELF-RATED PLAYERS
Any player without a valid computer rating may "self-rate" on TennisLink. TennisLink will then a) prompt the player to answer questions regarding their tennis history and b) then be assigned a rating based on the answers provided on the Questionnaire. If a player does not agree with the rating assigned by TennisLink, he/she may file an appeal directly after completing the questionnaire. The Self Rate Appeal link is available on the rating assigned paged. The Appeal shall be submitted electronically.
FORMAT
All levels of play will play 3 doubles matches in each team match. Remember that all players must play a minimum of two matches during the season, one match may be a default awarded to the player, to participate in the Sectional Championships. A player must play in a minimum of 3 matches, no defaults counting, to participate in the National championships.
Each team should consist of a least six (6) players but not more than fourteen players.
Each match has a two-hour time limit, with a ten-minute warm-up. The procedures for timed matches shall be the same as the 2011 Adult Winter Season – best 2 out of 3 sets with a Match Tiebreak (first team to 10) for the third set. Players should use the Coman format for tiebreaks.
