Are people on here rated by the USTA, or are they self rating?
Just curios. How many of us here are ACTUALLY USTA rated, and how many of the members are SELF rated?

Self rated. I kind of bouce around when playing tournaments, depending on if I play singles or doubles and the level of my doubles partner.

Are you speaking for yourself Kelvin? Ya, I started the same way. I joined a USTA league in Oakland CA and self rated myself at 3.5. I played 4 matches for this team(#1singles) and then I got bumped by the computer to 4.0. My 4 wins as a 3.5 player then turned into losses.

Hey Kelvinator, how can I get the "breakdown", for myself? How did you obtain that?

If you play in USTA events such as tournaments and leagues, they keep track of your wins and losses vs other players. If, as a 4.0, you regulary win 4.0 tournaments, or beat 4.5 players, you'll get moved up. This usually happens at the end of the tennis season, but if you are blowing them away, your NTRP will be corrected immediately. We lost a guy on our 4.0 team because of this.

Ya that's interesting. I was 3.5 this past season. I was bumped to 4.0 after only playing 4 matches as a 3.5. I have a friend that is a tennis pro at a local private club, where I played for his 4.0 league. He told me that he has a list of people that are close to getting bumped, and who are not in danger of being bumped. He told me that my name was on the top of the list for being bumped to 4.5. I don't understand how or why this is because I haven't been doing all that great in my tournaments lately. How can this be? It doesn't seem fair.
