All players, except national benchmarks, whose rating is within .05 above or below NTRP level will be granted.
All players, except national benchmarks, who will be 60 years of age or older during the league year and whose rating is within .10 above or below will be granted an appeal.
A One year or older national benchmark whose rating is within .05 above or below NTRP level may be considered.
A Year old computer rating that falls within .10 above IF the next highest approved NTRP level is not available.
MEDICAL APPEAL
A Permanent disabling injury or illness occurring after yearend ratings were achieved
Players will be notified in writing as to whether their appeals were granted or denied.
