Roster Rating Standard Appeal

David has a rating of 4.61 and was asking to appeal down to continue to play with his. same team at 4.0. His main reason was his work schedule. He also stated that he would like to be hooked. up with a 4.5 team if denied.

Since Appl policy is to deny playing down except in very specific conditions (usually medical) I referred him to Scot Ritchie who is the 4.5 coordinator here in Tucson.

Recommend denial due to Appl policy.

• APPL history of results does not support the Appeal

• Player is already at the desired Roster Rating

Jill is a 3.71 wishing to play at 4.0. She started 2.25 at 3.87 and dropped each game. She played one match in January and one match in March. She won only 33 points in 12 games which averages less than 3 pts per game. She had 132 points scored against her.

She said she has done lots of drilling and work on the court this summer, which I think is good, however, there really is not enough data to warrant the 4.0 jump.

In 2024 she played 3 matches in mixed double 3.5. She was competitive. Her rating went from 3.7 to 3.87 which qualified her for a fast track appeal to 4.0 this past year.

I have no idea if she has a dupr. The only Jill Anderson I could find that was close in age had a rating of 3.52

I do not feel that her current rating shows that she is strong enough to play 4.0. I recommend another year at 3.5 and she can play on 4.0 as an exception if they have room.
