USTA Rating Appeals

• Appeals of a USTA NTRP computer rating are valid for one season.

• If a player’s USTA computer rating is higher than the requested CTA/Bonita level, the player must appeal the USTA rating each season.

Mid-Season USTA Changes

• If USTA changes a player’s rating during a CTA/Bonita season, the player may finish the season at their current CTA/Bonita level.

• The change takes effect the following season.

CTA League Rating Appeals (Topdog)

• Players without a USTA computer rating may appeal their CTA/Bonita League rating (as listed in Topdog Tennis).

How Appeals Are Reviewed
