2025 End-of-Year USTA League NTRP Ratings Now Available
As the year wraps up, it’s time for the USTA League Year-End NTRP ratings. The new ratings will be released on December 2, and you’ll be able to check your classification for the 2026 USTA Adult League season. New ratings go into effect January 1, 2026. However, players who received a double bump, moving up two levels, must play at new rating immediately.
The NTRP Dynamic Ratings System is USTA National’s system which serves all sections and players in the US. In the Florida Section, ratings are generated by playing in USTA Adult Leagues for the 18 & Over, 40 & Over, 55 & Over, 65 & Over, Mixed 18 & Over, and Mixed 40 & Over, Combo 18 & Over, Combo 50 & Over, and Tri-Level divisions. Adult 18-39 and Adult NTRP Tournaments are also included by the USTA Florida Section and will be calculated in the Year-End ratings for the 2025 championship year.
The NTRP Ratings are calculated from match results in the last 12 months, with recent and championship matches playing a bigger role in the determination of a player’s rating. The Year-End rating is used to determine in which USTA Leagues and Tournaments you are eligible to participate for 2026. Year-End ratings are valid for up to three years for players 59 years old or under, and up to two years for players over 60, or until another rating is generated.

You can find your rating below by clicking either of the buttons. Once you open the link, input your information to reveal your 2026 rating.

It is important to note that you should NOT appeal your rating if you still have matches that need to be played in December of 2025.
We’ve teamed up with USTA Mid-Atlantic to provide the following frequently asked questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are NTRP Year-End ratings calculated?
A Year-End Rating, also known as a Computer Rating, is generated for every player who plays at least three valid matches in either a qualifying USTA League or Tournament. USTA Florida Leagues that generate a rating are listed above.
How are my dynamic ratings calculated?
A player’s dynamic ratings, calculated after each match, are not solely dependent upon winning or losing. They are calculated by USTA National’s algorithm that considers your rating, your opponent’s rating, the expected outcome of the match, and the actual outcome of the match.
What is the difference between a dynamic rating and a Year-End rating?
- Dynamic ratings are not disclosed to players, whereas Year-End ratings are published annually.
- Dynamic ratings are expressed to the one-hundredth of a point, whereas Year-End ratings are expressed only to the one-half point.
- Dynamic ratings are calculated nightly, whereas Year-End ratings are based on a combination of a player’s cumulative match results throughout the year.
What is the difference between NTRP Year-End rating and ITF World Tennis Number?
The NTRP Year-End rating is a static rating, released once a year, which is useful for a season-long competition like USTA Leagues and Tournaments. The ITF World Tennis Number (WTN) is a rating that allows you to track your progress in real time and encompasses all reported competitive play results including USTA Leagues, Tournaments, and non-USTA events. For more information on WTN, click here.
Why did USTA change my rating?
All NTRP ratings are generated by a computer using USTA National’s very advanced algorithm. Whether your NTRP level increases, decreases or stays the same, that information was calculated by a computer using your match play results.
How do I find a team at my new level?
Your Local Play Coordinator (LPC) can assist you with finding play in your area!
My NTRP was bumped up. What’s next for me?
You have worked hard to get to this point and should be proud of what you have accomplished! This is an opportunity for you to meet new people and take your tennis to the next level.
Miss your previous teammates? Don’t forget we offer a variety of combined rating leagues that will give you an opportunity to stay connected to your old crew.
My NTRP was bumped down. Any advice?
Don’t worry about it. You can always play up and stick with your team or you can reach out to your LPC to assist you with finding a new team. Just keep playing! The more matches you play, the more data the algorithm will have for generating your 2026 Year-End rating!
My teammate was bumped up and my rating didn’t change despite having a better record. Why?
Your win/loss record does not directly affect the Year-End calculation. Other factors include starting at different dynamic ratings (your ratings in hundredths) based on previous Year-End ratings and matches played against opponents with different dynamic ratings.
How do I appeal my rating?
As a Computer (C) rated player, the ONLY way to appeal your rating is online through TennisLink. When you click the button “appeal my rating,” which is referred to as an “automated appeal,” TennisLink checks to see if you are within what USTA National feels is the appealable range. You will receive an immediate response (Granted or Denied). If your appeal is granted, TennisLink will automatically and IMMEDIATELY adjust your rating level. If your appeal is denied, you are not within appealable range and there are no further opportunities to appeal. The result of the automated appeal is final.
It is also VERY important to note that should you be successful with your automated appeal, you will have an “A” rating. Individuals with an “A” rating are eligible for disqualification if their play generates dynamics out of range.
Detailed instructions on attempting an automated appeal:
- Log in to Tennislink and click the USTA League tab (across the top and to the left)
- To the right of “Welcome!”, look for your NTRP Level
- Under that, click “Appeal Rating Level”
- Select Appeal rating level “Up or Down”
- You will receive an immediate response at the top of the page
Reminders:
- It is important to note that if you are currently playing in a league, you should NOT appeal your rating until January 1. Any granted appeal changes your rating IMMEDIATELY and that could make you ineligible for your current league.
- Please note that no one– not your LPC not someone at the National level– can adjust your rating.
- There is no appeal committee, thus no written letter of explanation. It’s all based on USTA’s match data and numbers. The result is FINAL.
- Do not hit the button if you are not 100% sure you want to appeal your rating. Again, the result is FINAL.
- Appealing will NOT reveal your rating to the 100th of a point.
- Once an appeal has been granted, that player is eligible for Dynamic Disqualification.
I see my ratings on other websites. Are they the same as USTA?
The USTA posts the official NTRP ratings on your player profile on usta.com or on TennisLink, located at tennislink.usta.com. This is the only public website where official NTRP ratings authorized by the USTA are posted and can be obtained.
The USTA is aware of other sites that suggest they provide NTRP ratings. Any alleged NTRP related information available on these other sites is not endorsed by the USTA, is not accurate, and cannot be relied upon.
I’ve been away from tennis for a while, how do I get a rating?
If you have never had an NTRP Rating or it’s been a few years since you’ve played USTA League, your first step will be to Self-Rate online through TennisLink.
- Log in to Tennislink
- Click on the USTA League tab
- Look for “Find NTRP Rating Info”
- Under that, click on the blue “Self-Rate” button
- A pop-up window will appear with the Self-Rate Questionnaire
- Based on your answers you will be assigned a minimum self-rating
- You have the option to accept that rating, choose a higher rating, or request to appeal for a lower rating
I need more clarification, who can I reach out to regarding ratings?
We recommend you visit USTA National’s NTRP FAQ page. If you have remaining questions, please email your Local Play Coordinator.
