Appeals For 2010
(updated May 12, 2010)
An appeal is defined as a player
requesting to play down one level below her rating.
Example: A player with a 4.0 rating requests to play on a
team in the 4.0 minus division. Because a lower rated
player may play up two levels on a higher rated team,
appeals are not
accepted to raise a player’s rating.
The appeals committee did not grant any
requests for a player to play up beyond what the roster
rules allow.
Any rating appeal granted to play down
one division is valid for one year only.
The actual rating does not change;
however, the appeal allows the player to play down one rated
division and in some cases, the corresponding 50+ division.
The
restrictions associated with the appeal to play
down are:
·
1
appealed player per match on court 1
only
An appeal denied to a player requesting
to play down one division was based on a review of the
player’s rating, her match history, her win-loss record and
the number of times her match scores beat the spread.
For medical reasons such as major
surgery; i.e., hip or knee replacement, a player may request
to re-rate down. The player must send an email to the LCWTL
Director between September 1 and October 1, 2010 with a
brief explanation for this request. (Please
DO NOT include
doctor’s notes or medical records.) |
