What is a benchmark player?
Benchmark players are most often players who participated in the USTA Adult and the USTA Senior League District, Sectional, and National Playoffs. A benchmark player is one whose rating has been determined by the computer using a combination of the dynamic rating and the match results. A large number of players ratings are derived from comparing their match results, directly or indirectly, to the benchmark players match results. The “B” next to a player’s rating does not indicate (in any way) if the player is low, mid or top of level.
