Roster Rating Standard Appeal

Helen has not played outside of the White Mountain APPL leagues since 2022. Her ending rating in 2022 was a 3.52.

Since we cannot use White Mountain ratings and I have no access to anything other than the southern region I am unable to look anything up.

With that being said, Helen has applied on a medical appeal. PER HELEN In March of 2025 I was diagnosed with Acanthamoeba Keratitis and as a result of the infection I am currently blind in my left eye. I have been unable to play pickleball at all for almost 6 months. I was on a team up in the White Mountains this summer but because of the pain, doctor's appointments in Tucson, and the inability to play at a competitive level with my team I did not participate.

I am just getting back on the courts and doing the best I can with one eye. I am hoping to have a cornea transplant once they eye tissue is healthy enough, but even then, it is uncertain if I will have my sight back.

Since she did not play at. all this season and. her APPl rating from the Southern Region is stale, I would like to have her approved either as a self-rated player or allow her appeal to the 3.0 level being only .02 above 4 years ago. She is blind in one eye which would make depth perception almost impossible.

I ask that she be approved.

I am adjusting to playing with one eye and very much want to compete with a team, but I am not capable of playing at my current rating of 3.5.

If you need additional proof from my Ophthalmologist, I am able to provide it.

Please let me know if you need additional information. I will need to send it over in a PDF.
