Roster Rating Standard Appeal

NO REJECT

Wayne consistently went over 4.5 throughout the 2025 season. To make it over that 4.5 skill level takes good consistent playing esp with as many games as he played in two teams.

Wayne played with multiple partners and did well thru out the season on a 50+ and a 65+ team. Wayne will be competitive at 4.5.

2025 APPL Season - 65+ 4.0 Division - East Valley Region
TVR Bad Intentions
My Results: 85%/15% (win/loss) - played 54 games
 
While my winning record in this division was high, the competition was significantly below the intended 4.0 level. When the APPL Indexes were published at the end of the season, many players on opposing teams were rated at 3.5, with one player even rated at 3.0. In contrast, my team’s ratings were all at 4.0, except for one player at 3.5.
 
2025 State Tournament – 65+ 4.0 Division
Team Results: 66%/34% (win/loss)
My Results: 50%/50% (win/loss) – played 12 games
The two teams we faced at the State Tournament were legitimate 4.0 teams, in clear contrast to the much weaker teams we played against during the regular season.
 
2025 APPL Season – 50+4.0 Division – East Valley Region
TVR Bangers
Team Results: 57%/43%(win/loss)
My Results: 63%/37% (win/loss) – played 48 games
 
While my overall win percentage was 63%, my win percentage was only 47% when I did not play with higher skilled partners (those with 4.5 APPL ratings).
 
Overall Summary Request
Based on the information above and my current DUPR rating of 4.326 with a 18% validity, I strongly believe that if the 65+ 4.0 division had competitive teams at an appropriate skill level—similar to my experience at the State Tournament and when I competed in the 50+ 4.0 division—my rating would have remained below 4.5. I am confident that I am a solid 4.25–4.40 player and should therefore compete at the 4.0 level in the 2026 APPL season.
