Roster Rating Standard Appeal

Sue is a 3.57 player who is asking to play down to a 3.0. She is 75 years old and wants to play doubles with her husband who is a 3.0 and is 82 years old. She was quite sick this past spring and has had a hard time recovering.

Sue and her husband played together last year in 30 games. They won 22 and lost 8. They gained 6 Appl points and allowed 12.

Sue's rating bobbed around all year going between the 3.37 she started with and peaked for one game at 3.6 before going back to a 3.55. While she was over 3.5 most of the season it was usually 3.51, 3.55.... she only hit 3.6 at one time and only for one game of one match.

While her husband COULD play up on a 3.5 team due to his age, his ratings are continuously low 3.2.

with that being said, is she better than 3.0 yes, at 75 playing a a 65+ should that give her some grace when she plays with an 82 year old partner.....

My feelings are if they are husband and wife and can even stand to play together on the same side.... they must be amazing people. I would vote yes based on age. But I realize I am pretty tenderhearted when it come to things like this.

Bill has played on two teams this past year. He attached medical documentation of his arm being injured. His play in 2024 was steady just over the 3.0 mark. You can see the drop as 2025 goes along that lines up with this arm injury.
I am for allowing him to appeal up. He is only.02 off of an auto appeal.

Will dominate this year at 2.5, needs to play 3.0

David Denson is requesting to play 3.0 from 3.5. He is asking for a medical appeal due to rotator cuff surgery. He feels he will be ready by February.
HOWEVER, he has never played 3.0 in APPL. He started at 3.7 in 2023 finishing the season at 3.67. In 2024. he started the season and played the whole season at 3.67 finishing at 3.87.
He played one match in 2025 starting at 3.87 and ending at 3.74

He has a stale dupr from 2022 at 3.865.
While I understand the surgery will make a difference he is asking to appeal from 3.74 to a 3.0.

I don't know that he was ever a 3.0 player in his past.....I have mixed feeling but I am inclined to say that is too big of a drop.

Edward has no recent Appl history and should enter as a self-rated player. He has been notified of. this.

NO REJECT

June won 80% of games in 2025
SPLIT 12% and only lost 7%

She will totally dominate with any partner she plays with and she did play with many different partners which also shows she is dominating at 3.0

June is 65, no apparant medical issues so I feel she should stay at 3.5 where she will be competitive.
She is not on a community based team as she states so should be able to find another team at 3.5

In 2025 Suzanne played both mixed and gender doubles.

Gender:
5 wins and 15 losses. Earned 5 appl points in 15 losses
allowed 4 appl points in 5 wins

Mixed:
6 wins and 16 losses Earned 6 appl points in 16 losses and allowed 4 appl points in 6 wins

Dupr is 2.943 She said she played injured last year. Player is 72 years old.

The only thing that makes me want to honor the appeal is the injury and the dupr rating. Her wins and loses do not support it but at 72 she is still playing so maybe she earns it by determination.

first year was 2025
w 24 losses 10
high point scores on losses to add to team totals
