NEW Self-rated tournament players: If you are a player that wants to participate in an NTRP division and you do NOT have a current NTRP rating, you will need to acquire a self-rating on Tennislink under the USTA Leagues tab and in the column “Find NTRP Rating Info” and click on Self Rate.
After receiving your new self-rating in Tennislink you MUST contact the tournament director of the tournament you are entering to make sure of proper placement in an appropriate NTRP division. A player may have club experience that would provide a better background to your playing ability. Keep in mind you can always play up in a higher NTRP division, and a higher division may be more appropriate with a player’s particular experience.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
