Most of the questionable / out of level players have been self-rates.<br /><br />4.0 LFT has 8 out of 16 players that are self-rated. They could all be legitimate as far as I know, but it does send up a red flag.<br /><br />There should be a limit to the number of self-rates on a team and the number of self-rates in a lineup.<br /><br />I don't think this will ever happen because the USTA and DTA makes money for every self-rate who joins the USTA and plays leagues.<br /><br />There is also a few players who are willing to tank matches to play at a level below what they would normally have to play. There's not a lot that can be done to prevent this from happening. In my opinion this is a much smaller problem than the self-rates. I have no respect for players who tank matches to get a lower rating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-16598418521673553462010-06-30T14:21:13.560-05:002010-06-30T14:21:13.560-05:00Not sure how LTF got busted since their two supers...Not sure how LTF got busted since their two superstars are still on the team.

Let's ask Sisk what he would do.<br /><br />I also find it funny that the USTA cant figure out a way to not allow this kind of thing from happening. The USTA number should be able to reflect ones status, therefore, seeing the conflict and not allowing them to be placed on a 4.0 team. I wonder if Andy Roddick has a USTA numer. If so, could we use it and self rate him at 4.0? Maybe the computer program wont catch the fact that he is on the tour. <br /><br />The USTA is all about money. They dont give a shit about fair play.
