Michael played in the APPL league 2023-2025. He is 75 yo, his current APPL Index Rating is 3.66 and he would like to appeal/play 3.0. In 2023, his rating was not affected due to playing in a merged/pilot division. In 2024, he played in a combined 50+/65+ 3.5 flight, won 6 games and lost 18 games. In 2025, he played in a 65+ 3.5 flight, won 18 games and lost 18 games. He is requesting an appeal based on a medical condition, arthritis/tendonitis in his playing wrist. Based on last year results, he seems to be at the correct level (3.5)

Carol played 24 games in the 2025 season only. She won 6 and lost 18. She is eligible for a fast-track appeal to play 3.0. I do not think she should be approved for appeal to 3.5 based on her professional coach DUPR rating

Nicole has a 3.36 rating and wants to appeal to 4.0. She won 8. matches and lost 14 at 3.5 this past season. She and her partner scored 168 points and the opponents scored 244.

She states her DUPR is 4.078 from the most recent tournament last week. She played 3.0 not 3.5 while her dupr going in was a 3.567. The opponents were an average of 2.98 players. Her rating was artificially inflated by playing down in a league she was over qualified to play in.

Her reading in APPL began this year at 3.52 and dropped match over match to 3.36.

I feel like the DUPR is not accurate due to sandbagging in 3.0 and the Appl reflects that she did not hold her own in the 3.5 league.

I don't recommend the approval as the stats do not warrant it.

I have mixed feelings. This person has no documentable history of her skills either in pickleball or tennis since 2022.. My tennis playing friends state that a 4.0 tennis is like a 3.5 pickleball. She states she plays with 4.0 players but what does that even mean? Her rating from 2022 is 3.69. I feel that the fact that she had no documentation is too great. Her Dupr is 3.545. She has no pickleball brackets account. She has 2 wins and 6 losses in 3.5 in Dupr with the most recent one played in 2024

This player has steadily declined since her start at 3.7 in 2024. She ended the mixed season in 2024 at 3.24. 2025 she played gender doubles and only raised her rating by .09. She played six matches all with the same partner. They won 14 games and lost 22. They scored 4 appl points in their 22 losses and allowed 8 appl points in their 14 wins. Her dupr rating is 3.239 and she has no history in pickleball brackets. I do not believe that the fact that she disagrees with her rating is sufficient to warrant and increased rating for appeal to 3.5

REJECT APPEAL from 4.75 to 4.0

Gary played 4.5 level and 4.5/5.0 level OPEN in 2025

I have NO IDEA why Gary would want to go back to 4.0

History DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS APPEAL

REJECT 4.0 TO 3.5

If his partner is equally or potentially stronger, then maybe his partner needs to appeal to 4.0.

Dominated at 3.5, needs to move up

REJECT APPEAL from 4.5 to 4.0

Looking at game results from 2025, I don't believe that Anne is not a competitive person at this level.
Dominated at 4.0 doubles
Partner (husband) for MXD is lower level 4.0 so would guess she carried him and the reason his APPL rating did not go up

REJECT APPEAL to 4.0 from 4.5 INDEX

Played consistently and dominated 4.0, medical reasoning does NOT support this appeal.
