REQUIRED:

I am appealing the APPL rating above as I do not believe it accurately represents the level of my play. I am requesting a revision of the rating to 3.0 so that I can play on 3.0 mixed and womenโ€™s teams for the 2026 season without those teams needing to use an exception. The support for the revision to my rating is as follows -
1. For the 2025 season, I played on a 3.5 mixed team the Scottsdale league. I was competitive in that league as I began the season with a 3.4 rating and ended the season with a 3.2 rating.
2. It was my first year playing in APPL and played on a low level 3.0 team. I therefore did not play with strong players and our results reflected the overall strength of our team.
3. I play extensively in Chicago over the summers and was rated as 3.25 by the pickleball pro at our club.
4. I played in a 3.0 mixed tournament at Trilogy (charity event for NPH) and achieved 2nd place out of 30 teams.
5. I played in a 3.0 mixed tournament within the Trilogy club and achieved 3rd place.

Overall, I have been playing pickleball over 3 years and my skills have improved each year. I am proficient in the basic skills of serve, drive and dink and focus on making strokes with purpose. I also participate in various group clinics as well as individual training at Trilogy. I hope you will consider my entire pickleball experience in revising my rating. Thank you for your consideration.
