Roster Rating Standard Appeal

Curtis Simpson is one of the players that caused a great deal of complaints last year regarding sandbagging. He played as a captain rated player on a 3.5 tear. He won 95 games and lost 7. At state he won 16 games and lost 3. Regular season saw him score 7 appl points in 7 losses and state had 4 appl points scored in 8 losses. Regular season saw 33 appl points scored against him in 95 wins and 5 appl points in 16 wins at state.

His dupr is 3.956. HOWEVER he plays round robin mixers at an indoor club weekly with rotating partners for that dupr score. His dupr has never been over 4.0. Pb brackets is all blurred out and I cannot see it. I do not recommend approval of the appeal

• APPL history of results does not support the Appeal

I played on two teams last year at 3.5 level and then got rated 4.53 at the end of the season. that seems to be too much of a jump for me and not one I'm comfortable with (at age 65). I really want to play 4.0 for the first time with APPL.
