Roster Rating Standard Appeal

YES APPROVE to 3.5

Won all her games in 2024 @3.5 18+ and split ONE
Dominated at 3.0
Young player, strong and moving up

No games in 2025

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.

Candace started 2025 season as a high 3.5 at 3.93
She stayed over 4.0 the entire season and won the majority of games in doubles and mixed.

I would suggest if she wants to play with her same partners they could possibly appeal to 4.0 as they are higher level 3.5 players as well.

Candace will be competitive at 4.0

Her reasoning to stay at 3.5 is to play with the same partners.

YES APPROVE

3.92 to 4.0

COULD have done FAST TRACK

STate Champs @3.5
Played all matches at state

Scott wants to appeal down from a 4.06 to a 3.5 which he played at last year. He is over 65
If the teams hold up the same as they did last year his only option will be to play 50/65+ 4.0/4.5

He played all 8 matches. He won 33 games and lost 19. that is a 78% win rate.
He accrued 9 appl points in the 19 losses and allowed 7 in the 33 wins.
This is a tough one. He dominated last year. He is not far over 4.0 and yet he will be a huge disadvantage if he moves up.....He went over 4.0 in his last match.

he has no dupr

REJECT 4.0 to 3.5

History shows Kathy playing 15 games in APPL in 2025

Kathy dominated at 3.5 and needs to stay at 4.0 this season

George is over 70 and wants to play in the newly formed 70+ 3.5 league. He lives at Saddlebrooke ranch. They do not allow outside players on their teams. He would make the 6th player. Unsure if it will be quad format or regular.

His rating since 2022 has been in the high 3.5's. He got bumped up over 4.01 on a three game forfeit from another team. His highest rating was a 4.05. He has no valid dupr and his pb brackets is all blurred out so I can't access it. His dupr rating of 4.42 is from 2022 with only one game, not match recorded last year and the year before. They were both appl games and neither one of them was validated by the other party.

2025 he won 14 games, lost 10 He scored 8 appl points in 10 losses and had 5 appl points scored against him in 14 wins. His record was generally split games.

George sees a podiatrist for chronic foot pain for the past three years.

Due to the 4.01 rating, wanting to play the over 70's team....recommend the approval.

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.

Fast Track
