New England Senior Rankings/Standings Explanation New England rankings and standings are determined by head-to-head results in tournaments, i.e. a win counts more if the player beaten has a good record and a loss hurts more if it is to a player with a lower record. This is determined using a computer program called the "Star" system. There are also criteria for gaining a ranking, e.g. a minimum number of tournaments played. The USTA/NE ranking criteria for 2011 can be accessed here. Doubles rankings in New England are given to doubles teams only. There are no individual doubles rankings as there is with national rankings. A ranking is based on a calendar year's worth of play and are usually finalized a couple of months after the year ends. A standing is a rolling 12 month interim "ranking" based on the last 12 months of play in that age group. Standings are very useful in determining seeds in tournaments. USTA has revamped their web site this year and unfortunately it has made it more difficult to navigate rather than easier. To access rankings and standings, go to https://tennislink.usta.com/TOURNAMENTS/Rankings_New/RankingHome.aspx?Page=SearchRanking&District=45&Year=2011&Division=G9&List=0&#. The page you get to will have at the top of the page "Rankings Search." Right below that is a box saying "National/Sectional/District" and you can select what you want, usually New England or National. Next is "Year" and you select the year of interest. Then there is Division and you will want Adult Divisions. Under "List Type" there is a wide selection. If you are not sure, you can select "*All List Types" at the top of the selections. The final rankings for 2011 are not yet available but you can get to tentative rankings for 2011 by choosing New England as the section, 2011 as the year, adult divisions as the division, and tentative ranking as the list type. After you get a a particular search result, to try a different one, click on the "Search Again" link in small letters to the right of "Search Results" in large letters. Note: clicking on the link above may bring you to a ranking list instead of the beginning. If that happens, hit search results to get to the beginning page. Good luck!
