Christa is right where she needs to be at 4.0.
She clearly has the skills to be competitive at 4.0

Nicole has a 3.36 rating and wants to appeal to 4.0. She won 8. matches and lost 14 at 3.5 this past season. She and her partner scored 168 points and the opponents scored 244.

She states her DUPR is 4.078 from the most recent tournament last week. She played 3.0 not 3.5 while her dupr going in was a 3.567. The opponents were an average of 2.98 players. Her rating was artificially inflated by playing down in a league she was over qualified to play in.

Her reading in APPL began this year at 3.52 and dropped match over match to 3.36.

I feel like the DUPR is not accurate due to sandbagging in 3.0 and the Appl reflects that she did not hold her own in the 3.5 league.

I don't recommend the approval as the stats do not warrant it.

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.

Helen has not played outside of the White Mountain APPL leagues since 2022. Her ending rating in 2022 was a 3.52.

Since we cannot use White Mountain ratings and I have no access to anything other than the southern region I am unable to look anything up.

With that being said, Helen has applied on a medical appeal. PER HELEN In March of 2025 I was diagnosed with Acanthamoeba Keratitis and as a result of the infection I am currently blind in my left eye. I have been unable to play pickleball at all for almost 6 months. I was on a team up in the White Mountains this summer but because of the pain, doctor's appointments in Tucson, and the inability to play at a competitive level with my team I did not participate.

I am just getting back on the courts and doing the best I can with one eye. I am hoping to have a cornea transplant once they eye tissue is healthy enough, but even then, it is uncertain if I will have my sight back.

Since she did not play at. all this season and. her APPl rating from the Southern Region is stale, I would like to have her approved either as a self-rated player or allow her appeal to the 3.0 level being only .02 above 4 years ago. She is blind in one eye which would make depth perception almost impossible.

I ask that she be approved.
