Appeals of Ratings & Grievances

NTRP Appeals Procedures

Appeal your rating
Appeal defined as a "request for reconsideration of a previous decision, determination or finding."

Automated Appeals
Appealing will NOT reveal your rating in 100th of a point.
You will receive an automatic response advising whether Granted or Denied.

Once you select UP or DOWN and click SUBMIT at the bottom of the appeal page your request is final.  You cannot go back.

• When appealing UP, the player's rating is compared to the player's current play level to se e if it is within range.
• When appealing DOWN, the player's rating is compared to the next play level below the player's level to see if it is within range.

A player or their captain/coordinator may appeal the player's computer-generated rating.

Please note that no championship benchmark rating may be appealed the first year received except for medical reasons.
