Year End Ratings Are Out:
Massive Movement of Players to Higher Rank
The year end 2009 NTRP ratings will reflect a nationwide
movement in which a higher percentage of players will move
upward this year, according to an announcement with the release
of the rankings for the end of 2009.
"This reflects the concerns of the National Oversight Group, the
Observers (Verifiers), charged with protecting the integrity of
our NTRP levels as defined below. It was also the clear
consensus of many others including staff, volunteers, team
captains and players that the system is in need of adjustment as
too many players were above the NTRP level they were playing at.
Additionally, the same issue was noted through player concerns
raised in survey work. A growing disconnect was seen between the
standards used in the Self Rating guidelines and the actual
characteristics of players on court at various levels, along
with players who had been allowed for many years to appeal their
year end ratings downward," the announcement says.
Of the 300,000+ league players nationally, more than 90,000 will
be seeing movement in their NTRP rating.
