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 2008 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. The 2007 final rankings can be found here. The 12 month rolling standings can be found here. These standings are typically updated twice a month when tournaments are frequent.
