The March Early Start League Ratings, below, only affect your ability to register on a 2010 Championship Year Adult League team this summer.  The list encompasses players that participated in adult and/or senior Southern Crescent leagues in championship year 2009.

All players who have participated in a 2009 Championship Year Adult and/or Senior League have the ability to appeal their rating.  This means, if your 2008 Year End Rating was a benchmark "B" rating, you can still appeal your Early Start League Rating.

Appealing Your March ESL Rating:

If you wish to appeal your March ESL rating to register on an adult league this summer, please follow these instructions:

1. Go to TennisLink's "Register for a Team": https://tennislink.usta.com/leagues/TLRegistration/leagueregmulti1.asp
2. Enter your USTA number and one of these gender-specific fictitious 2.0 team numbers (if you do not have a team number at this time):

   Men: 7034517477
   Women: 7034517478

   then select "Next Step"

3. In the next step, you will see the message below.  You may then appeal your rating using the blue "Appeal Rating" link.

   "Line #1: Player's rating is too high for team entered - Edit entry or Appeal Rating.  Click here for more information about the automated appeal process.

4. Select "Appeal Rating" and the online automated appeal process will instantaneously and accurately, based on your age and ESL dynamic, either grant or deny your appeal.

If you are not sure whether you need to appeal your rating, you may find the CHANGED rating March ESL database on the www.ustageorgia.com homepage.  Select the database "2010 Chps Year March ESL Rating Changes" and enter your last name and gender.  If your rating has changed from the 2008 year end ratings, your name and new rating level will appear.  You will also know whether your rating has advanced when you go to register for our team and receive the same message as above "Player's rating is too high..."

Appealing Your 2008 Year-End Rating

All other appeals (2008 year-end ratings for 2009 championship year league programs, such as mixed, senior, flex and combo) must be done through TennisLink's "Find a Rating":

(Please remember to enter your USTA number to see the blue "Appeal Rating" link.  If you do not remember your USTA number, you can look it up here by entering your name.)
