Roster Rating Standard Appeal

Madi Nash is asking to appeal from 3.95 to 4.5. She is a special case and I spoke to Greg about her and he agrees with me that she should be allowed to play up.

Madi is 31 years old and an exceptional athlete. She was a star soccer player and softball player locally and picked the paddle up a little over one year ago. I played with her in the beginning teaching her rules and drilling with her regularly. I hooked her up with several teaching pros as she was progressing quite rapidly. I tried to get a 4.0 18+ team to take her last year as I saw the potential but she was an unknown entity.

Madi played throughout the season with her mother dominating the 3.5 competition. Their team won the league and qualified for state. Madi and Victoria chose not to go as Madi was involved in other tournament play at that time.

Madi played only three matches. 2 with her mother and 1 with a 3.2 player. After that her index rose from 3.7 to 3.95 in three matches. She chose to go off and play in match point tournaments after that.

Her DUPR is 3.99 but that came from two tournaments early in her year. After the tournaments she played in were not dupr rated.

see below for her rated tournaments played with 4.5-5.0 players

I believe she is the future of young Appl players and is a draw for others. I recommend the appeal be approved.
