| 17958 | Southern | John | Pieri | 4.01 | 3.5 | Rejected | Workflow Complete | Started season at 4.01 in 3.5 division. Never dropped below 4.0. He was the only 4.0 in all the matches. State regular season bottom line is he wants to likely play on a 65+ team of 3.5. Final rating is 4.09 not 4.01 He seems to have dominated at 3.5 last year even 50/50 against the open age guys. While his rating didn't go up a ton 4.01 to 4.09 he played with players with much lower level ratings all year. DUPR is 3.6 put only one game |

| 17959 | Southern | Pat | Hawkins | 4.08 | 3.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | He played only one game in 2025. Not even one match. Wants to appeal to 3.5 Both hips replaced with complications afterwards. He will be 64 in 2026 and have to play on a 50+ team. Rating is 4.08 in 2023 he played in 65+ and 55+ age groups. Played with same partner most of the matches. Their ratings were into the 4.0's and other opponents were in 3.75-3.8 on average. He started 2024 at 4.22 in a 3.5 league....I have no idea how that happens. His rating went as high as 4.32. It dropped toward the end of the season to 4.0-4.1 range while in 3.5 league. For the past two years he has played on a 3.5 team with a higher than 4.0 rating...... while he will be the oldest in that age group he also has shown that he can play at 4.0. Does the injury and complication give him the gift of being overrated for a third year in a row???? Last time his rating was below 4.0 2/23 | |
| 17968 | Southern | Kim | Hehe | 3.34 | 3.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Kim's rating is .01 off a fast track appeal. Wants to appeal to 3.5 Over the past couple of years of play her rating has kind of danced all around the 3.2, 3.3 range. Never over a 3.5 When she played mixed her losses were 17 compared to 7 wins, 4 appl points earned and 8 allowed. That is a 41% win ratio in mixed. In gender doubles she was 50/50. She had five wins and five losses. She earned 4 appl points and allowed to. She speaks of two really dominant mixed teams and when I look at them I do see players that play 4.0 regularly in tournaments etc. That might account for the 41% ratio. She played in 50+ in both of those even though she qualified for 65+. I don't know if it is because Tubac only has 'x' number of teams available. I have reached out to Naomi Giles from Green Valley to see if she has an opinion on, or knows her play. No response She is qualified to play on a 65+ team if one is available in Tubac. Limited teams available there. I would be inclined keep her playing and say yes. She has 14 DUPR matches in 2024. 3.668 | |
| 18007 | Southern | Robert | Salter | 2.83 | 3.0 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Robert played 34 games last yea He lost 24 mens doubles matches, won 3. He lost 4 mixed double and won 3. He earned 6 appl points in mens doubles and allowed 2. He won 3 apple points in mixed and allowed two. He struggled all year with leg issues eventually having surgery to correct it. He states that subs scores might have been attributed to him but I would have know way of knowing if this was accurate. He played in 65+ last year and can do so again this year if he so chooses. In adding up all matches both doubles and mixed his average rating is a 2.9. I believe that he should be granted the appeal based on that, due to the unknown of whose scores are actually entered and no way to find out. If he chooses to play 65+ he is able to regardless. Duper is 3.006 | |

| 18047 | Southern | George | Patterson | 4.0 | 3.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | George played 9 matches last year. He won 17 games and lost 10. He had 8 appl points earned and 6 allowed. He played on a 65+ team and states he will be 72 this year. Three of the wins come due to a forfeit. He states he has neuropathy in his feet and arthritis. His index is 4.01. He wants to play 3.5 again due to the increasing pain levels. He has disabled plates on his car he states. It appears Saddlebrook adds their APPL matches into Dupr. His dupr is 4.42 HOWEVER there are only two appl matches in it that are fairly current and one has not been validated. The other ratings come from 2022. Since he will be playing in the 65+ league I recommend we approve the rating of 3.5 as he is only 4.01 and the highest he got last year was 4.05. Neuropathy makes it very hard to play so I don't feel he has any advantage. | |
| 18049 | Southern | Erich | Bower | 4.54 | 4.0 | Rejected | Workflow Complete | Played in multi-level teams this year. 4.0/4.5 18, 50, 65 mixed he basically pretty much split everything on both teams. He did better within the mixed, he played regularly with his wife. In his mixed matches he jumped .09 in the first three games. then he dropped down .01 in next two and back up 1.12 in the third one. in mens he dropped .01, then went back up 1.01 and then down. .01 and then back up 1.12. While he says he 'didn't win anything' in tournaments he regularly took silver and one bronze. That means he made it to the medal rounds. This was in 4.0. these were in 21-23 His dupr is currently 4.475 and stale since 2023. At one time his dupr got as high as 4.771 in 23. He may not have competed in the last couple of years but he played 61 games last year which definitely gives a picture of what he is capable of even though he says 60 is not enough to give him an index. He will end up playing in the same league next year as he did this year with combined 4.0 and 4.5. I think he will do well and should be a 4.5 |

| 19068 | Southern | Natalie | Carey | 3.12 | 3.5 | Rejected | Workflow Complete | Natalie would like to appeal her 3.12 rating to play 3.5 She played six matches last season. 2 at 3.5 and 4 at 3.0 In 3.0 she won 6 games and lost 12. She scored a total of 120 points while 166 were scored by her opponents. She started the 2024 season at 3.2 and ended at 3.0 and then inn 2025 she started at 3.0 and never got any higher than 3.12 with much of the season being lower than 3.0. Her stats kind of give mixed signals but I feel like over a two year period her rating has been flat making me believe that she needs another year at 3.0. I recommend denial |

| 18928 | Southern | Madison | Nash | 3.9 | 4.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Madi Nash is asking to appeal from 3.95 to 4.5. She is a special case and I spoke to Greg about her and he agrees with me that she should be allowed to play up. Madi is 31 years old and an exceptional athlete. She was a star soccer player and softball player locally and picked the paddle up a little over one year ago. I played with her in the beginning teaching her rules and drilling with her regularly. I hooked her up with several teaching pros as she was progressing quite rapidly. I tried to get a 4.0 18+ team to take her last year as I saw the potential but she was an unknown entity. Madi played throughout the season with her mother dominating the 3.5 competition. Their team won the league and qualified for state. Madi and Victoria chose not to go as Madi was involved in other tournament play at that time. Madi played only three matches. 2 with her mother and 1 with a 3.2 player. After that her index rose from 3.7 to 3.95 in three matches. She chose to go off and play in match point tournaments after that. Her DUPR is 3.99 but that came from two tournaments early in her year. After the tournaments she played in were not dupr rated. see below for her rated tournaments played with 4.5-5.0 players I believe she is the future of young Appl players and is a draw for others. I recommend the appeal be approved. | |
| 18065 | Southern | Gene | Seifers | 4.22 | 3.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Gene is petitioning based on medical reasons. Bone on Bone knee in both knees. He won four games lost 8. He earned four appl points and allowed three. Gene started playing in 2022 with an Appl rating as high as 4.38 at one point. His appl rating never dipped below the 4.0. He is petitioning to play 3.5. He can play on a 65 team but only at 4.0 Gene's dupr is stale at 3.5 in 2021 | |
| 18730 | Southern | Edward | Watson | 3.61 | 3.0 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Edward has no recent Appl history and should enter as a self-rated player. He has been notified of. this. | |
| 18072 | Southern | Tracey | Rathjen | 3.34 | 3.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Tracey has a dupr of 3.896 and is .01 off of an auto appeal. She won 10 games and lost 14 she accrued 8 appl points while allowing only 3. Tracey may have lost quite a few games but actually split 6 of those 14 losses. Only once did she actually go over 3.5 last season but I feel that her dupr and the close number to the auto appeal should allow the appeal to be approved | |
| 18076 | Southern | Aumi | Leber | 3.24 | 3.5 | Rejected | Workflow Complete | Aumi played both 3.5 and 3.0 3.5 3.0 It appears she might be a good partner but not yet good enough to carry a weaker partner. She went to a level up camp this summer and has attended multiple clinics through Cheryl Horvath this summer. Cheryl is a 4.5 player and a certified instructor. Cheryl states she is 100% 3.5 ready for this season. |
|
| 18731 | Southern | David | Scaglione | 4.61 | 4.0 | Rejected | Workflow Complete | 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. |

| 18095 | Southern | Scott | Burbank | 4.06 | 3.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Scott wants to appeal down from a 4.06 to a 3.5 which he played at last year. He is over 65 He played all 8 matches. He won 33 games and lost 19. that is a 78% win rate. he has no dupr | |
| 18106 | Southern | Jeff | Schmitt | 4.64 | 4.0 | Rejected | Workflow Complete | He wants to play 4.0 with a rating of 4.64. Dupr is 4.228 and current as of August. He won 41 games and lost 12. He played this in a mixed flight of 50/65 4.0/4.5 he is unwilling to travel out of Saddlebrook to player on a higher level team as his community will not have a 4.5 team. | |
| 18107 | Southern | Karen | Kelly | 2.84 | 3.0 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Karen is .01 off of what would be an auto appeal. Two years ago she was injured in a bicycle crash in August 2023 that broke her spine, her pelvis and her arm. It was months before she was out of the hospital and at home again. She did not play last year until May 2025 when she was finally released to do so. Karen has been down at ACE every single day taking lessons, working on the ball machine and playing with 3.0 and 3.5 players. Her tenacity warrants a 3.0 rating if nothing else. She was literally shattered into many pieces. | |
| 18128 | Southern | Ron | Jacobsen | 4.53 | 4.0 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Ron played in a 50/65 40 45 mixed league. He plays out of Tubac which has no 4.5 team. Due to the barely over, last match, no place to play in Tubac I ask for approval. Dupr is 4.42. Last match was one year ago. | |

Was rated 3.5 (captain's rating); started as 3.70, dropped .20 and ended as 3.5. Played one match (6 games), lost all games, earned only 2 APPL points and was pickled twice. Player believes he more accurately should have started as 3.0 and would like to play on a 65+ 3.0 team in 2026 | |
| 19332 | Southern | Carol | Starnes | 3.5 | 3.5 | Approved | Workflow Complete | Carol has not played since 2023. The final match of the season in the final game it bumped her to 4.01 and she wants to play 3.5 I recommend we approve the appeal request. | |
