Are all players in a given NTRP level equal in ability?
No. The NTRP system identifies general levels of ability, but an individual will be rated within those levels at 50 different hundredths of a point. For example, a 3.5 player can fall anywhere between a 3.01 and a 3.50. That is the reason many people feel they are playing sandbaggers they are closer to the bottom of that range while their opponents are closer to the top of the range. 40. The rules state that NTRP disqualification is not part of the Mixed Doubles Division. If I am disqualified at the Adult or Senior Divisions, am I allowed to participate at the disqualified level in Mixed Doubles Division for the remainder of the league year? No. Even though the Mixed Doubles Division does not allow disqualification, it must follow the rules in relation to playing at the correct level. A player who has been moved up as a result of a disqualification in the Adult or Senior Divisions must immediately adjust his/her NTRP level of play in the Mixed Doubles Division.
