USTA Florida Section Rule Changes - Effective for the 2010 League Season
Restriction on the number of players at a lower level playing on a team
• What: Teams must have at least 75% of the rostered players at the team level
• Where: League programs in the Adult, Senior, and Super Senior divisions using the straight level format (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, etc.)
• When: Beginning with the 2010 Championship year, including Early Start Leagues
• Why: To provide more competitive matches and leagues, because of complaints about travel/expense in non-competitive matches, and to improve the quality of NTRP ratings
• Possible Effects: May initially reduce participation levels and teams in some leagues; however, many players playing up a level do not also play at their level. But, overall participation may not be impacted significantly if players return to playing at-level. In the long-run, better quality programs resulting from more competitive matches and leagues may increase overall participation
