75% In-Level Rule
The 75% in-level requirement is in effect throughout Colorado
For all leagues that utilize “straight NTRP Levels” (i.e. 3.0, 3.5, 4.0), at least 75% of all players on each team roster must be playing “in level”. For example, 75% of the players rostered on a 3.5 team must have a valid 3.5 NTRP rating. Teams must reach this percentage no later than the first scheduled match date within each league and maintain that percentage throughout the entire season.
This rule does not apply to leagues that utilize “combined NTRP Levels” (i.e. 6.0, 7.0, 8.0). These leagues do not have an in-level requirement: USTA Mixed 18 & Over, USTA Mixed 40 & Over, ITA Mixed, USTA Adult 55 & Over, USTA Adult 65 & Over.
Waiver requests may be submitted by the team captain should a team desire a greater percentage of out-of-level players. (See below)
6.01B Violation of 75% In-Level Requirement. If a team is in violation of the 75% In-Level Requirement, the team will be allowed 48 hours from time of notification to become compliant. Teams that do not become compliant will be disqualified from the league with all match scores being reversed to count as 6-0, 6-0 wins for the opponents.
