To needlessly worry or prevent a player from participating based on the possibility of getting a strike is not fair to the player or the team. If not provided, the player can ask the Section League Coordinator or designee which matches earned the strikes. All matches played are visible in TennisLink. Responsibility for monitoring dynamic ratings lies with the Section League Coordinator or designee.
When a "third strike" situation arises, the Section League Coordinator or designee will first notify:.

As long as the player's at the new NTRP level of play and his or her partner's combined ratings do not exceed the NTRP level of your team, the player will be allowed to continue to play on that team.
Even though the Mixed Division does not allow Dynamic Disqualification, it must follow the rules in relation to playing at the correct level.
Do USTA sanctioned tournaments count in the dynamic rating system? If so, can a tournament win be used as one of the three strikes? Sanctioned NTRP tournament results do not generate strikes; however, if your Section does Opt In, they will impact your year-end rating.
All matches have expected outcomes that vary depending on the dynamic NTRP ratings of the players on the court. If a player wins or loses by the expected outcome, it will have a much smaller effect on their rating than if the player wins or loses by a margin that is greater than expected.
It is possible for a player to lose a match and have their rating go up. These matches will be included at year end when the final calculations are run. Dynamic Ratings for local play are calculated nightly for Adult and Senior Divisions. During championships, Dynamic Ratings are run instantly as match results are entered.

If they are playing well into the next level, they will receive a strike. Once they have received a sufficient number of strikes, they will be moved to a higher level.

If you truly feel a self-rated player is significantly above level, a captain or coordinator may file an NTRP grievance. Contact your Local League Coordinator.

A leading player in the early s, Stan Smith, recalled how it worked: "Some players would be on a list as players that could help sell tickets for the event and they would have priority over others in acceptance into tournaments," he told the ATP Tour website in There were definitely some battles with tournaments over this star system.
Chris Evert defends her Wimbledon title with a double-handed backhand. The rankings are recalculated and reissued almost every week and are published on Mondays. The more important a tournament is — and how far a player is likely to progress in said tournament — the more points up for grabs. Points are dropped 52 weeks after they were first awarded. In men's tennis, the rankings formula is determined by calculating, for each player, his total points from the majors — the Australian, French and US opens and Wimbledon — plus eight mandatory Masters tournaments, and his best six results from all ATP Tour , ATP Tour , Challenger Tour and Futures tournaments.
The system is similar in the women's game. The WTA Tour is also based on a rolling week, cumulative system. A player's ranking is determined by her results at a maximum of 16 tournaments for singles and 11 tournaments for doubles. Women's No. Rankings are a universal measurement of a player's spot whereas seedings are tournament-specific. The confusion can stem from the fact that a tournament rarely deviates from the rankings list when determining seedings.
It can, and does, happen at Wimbledon, however. There the seeds are still the top 32 players according to rankings, but the seedings order is determined by a formula that takes into account how players have gone on grass in the previous 12 months.
Seedings do matter. That's why you hear of a top player on the comeback trail — and out of seedings range — referred to a "dangerous floater" or an "unseeded threat" who other players will want to avoid too early in a tournament. Roger Federer wipes away tears after defeating Croatia's Marin Cilic, left, to win the Australian Open and achieve a grand slam record in Wildcards are a different game altogether.
Numerous tournaments, including the Australian Open, have discretionary power to issue entry to individuals irrespective of their ranking. This is often a reward for younger players on the rise or perhaps a nod to an older player with crowd-drawing history. The Australian Open has eight wildcard spots in the men's and women's draws, so there are three paths to a singles spot at that slam; a player can receive a main draw position based on their ranking, wildcard status or through qualifying.
At last year's Australian Open, four of the eight wildcard spots in the men's draw and three on the women's side were "internal selections". One wildcard spot each for men and women is also allocated to the winner of Australia's wildcard playoff — a mini-tournament held at Melbourne Park in December. On the ATP Tour, players can lobby the executive chairman and president for entry protection when they are injured and do not compete in an event for at least six months.
Britain's Andy Murray has been using his protected ranking recently because of a hip injury. This has allowed Murray, who climbed to world No. Murray planned to use this provision in the ATP Cup — a new men's team tournament in Australia in January — followed by the Australian Open but pulled out of his trip Down Under after a setback.
