Each player has been assessed and assigned an individual rating for the state of Oregon as a singles player . The player has to play at that level or above in singles or doubles.
New players on the tour play two tournaments before they get a rating. It is suggested that new players should get their rating assessment from an AmPRO certified Instructor , club pro or tournament director and play at that level for your first tournament.
The ORA will still continue the ranking system based on how a player finishes at tournaments. Players will no longer ‘Point Out’ by accumulating a certain level of points in that season, however, a player will be required to play a higher level/division after winning 3 tournaments in one season. Players who get moved up a level during the season may play in the State and Regionals at the level you started that season .
Please check the website for your rating level . Players may submit a written request to the ORA Board for consideration if they think they should be in another division. This letter must be written at least 30 days prior to the next event you wish to play in. Please submit to: Chris Shaw
