Internal Review Notes

Started season at 4.01 in 3.5 division. Never dropped below 4.0. He was the only 4.0 in all the matches.

State
9 win, 3 losses
2 appl earned and 4 appl allowed

regular season
10 regular wins, 2 regular loses
against mixed age split matches evenly with 3 wins and 3 losses against 18 +

bottom line is he wants to likely play on a 65+ team of 3.5. Final rating is 4.09 not 4.01

He seems to have dominated at 3.5 last year even 50/50 against the open age guys.

While his rating didn't go up a ton 4.01 to 4.09 he played with players with much lower level ratings all year.

DUPR is 3.6 put only one game

REQUIRED:

Greetings,
I played on a 3.5 APPL team the last 3 years. We had fun. We played on a 55+ Men's team. This year we are thinking of playing 65+.
Part of my frustration is that every year I get older and I'm not the same player. I don't play year round like some guys do. My game isn't getting any better, really. It also seems to me that if your captain puts you with a good player and you win, your rank goes up. I'm wasn't even the best player on our team last year, but my ranking was. I also play tennis and I'm a solid 3.5 ranked player. As a pickleball doubles player last year on APPL, my partners and I were 19-9 overall. I'd like to play with many of the same guys that I played with the last two years. I'm trying to captain the 3.5 65+ team this winter. I've never played on a 4.0 level team before. That is my appeal. Thank you for this consideration. Sincerely, John Pieri (Saddlebrooke Ranch)
