I'll be traveling to Houston almost weekly this year for work and would like to play some tennis while down there. I'm going to be staying near the Galleria most of the time but can meet to play in the evenings basically anywhere. If you'd like to play, please let me know. I'll pay my court fees as well if you're a private club member. My email is fenn.jim@gmail.com, cell is 214-585-3398.

They have effectively eliminated one of the biggest rating loopholes to date. That being the M and T exclusive ratings as well as the Self Rate rule. In summary (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong)<br /><br />1. If you have a year end M or T rating you still need to self rate the following year and your rating can not be less than your last year-end rating. You have to file an appeal if you want your rating lower than your M or T rating<br /><br />2. If your self rate expires you can not self rate lower than your last S rating and you have to file an appeal if you want your rating lower than your last S rating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
