All of these players are rated 4.5. I guess I just dont understand how the dynamic rating system works. These scores are not competitive. The whole purpose of the NTRP system is that the matches be competitive between 2 similarly rated players. In fact they give an example of a competetive match as being 6-4, 6-4. Yet another reason I stopped playing team tennis. Supposedly the dynamic rating system was supposed to prevent this. Clearly it is failing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755613577771304198.post-10807718820961378862011-04-24T20:55:27.577-05:002011-04-24T20:55:27.577-05:00Who has Julio Olya Sr beat in his 4.5 career?
