Roster Rating Standard Appeal

Georgia is a 3.93 wanting to appeal to 4.0. She started at the 3.7 for a new Appl player last year. During the regular season she played mix play. She won 20 games and lost 10. During those she gained 6 Appl points and gave away 10. Many of her matches were split win/loss.

It appears she 'can hang' with the 3.5 players and would like to play up for next year.

I recommend she be allowed to play up as she improved from a 3.7 to a 3.93 over the year.

2025 was my first season playing APPL. I began at a 3.5 rating and finished the season as a 3.93 with my team that went to State playoffs. I had a good season and won 70% of my games (21W/ 9L), which is generally accepted as the point at which a player may be recommended to play up at the next skill level.

While I do have a lower DUPR of 3.47 from a 01/2025 tournament, this tournament was statistically invalid as my flight was a mix of 3.0/3.5/4.0 women teams. My tournament partner and I won all games and took Gold. A more accurate reflection of my play was this summer. I continued to take pickleball lessons and played with 4.0 players 4x week the entire summer, achieving a win ratio of approx. 50%. This is more indicative of my 4.0 skill level play.

My APPL Index was higher than 2 fellow teammates who finished their 3.5 season as a 3.91 and a 3.90, and both have already had their appeals to play as a 4.0 approved. I too would like to be approved to play as a 4.0 and am requesting that my Appeal be approved to play up .07 to the 4.0 skill level. Thank you for your consideration.
