RATINGS
New September 2011   Ratings UPDATE

The Rating Committee has been appointed effective April 2011 as follows:  Dick Haynes, Bill Triquart, Donna Nelson, and Pam Lenar.  The Tournament Director, Wayne Mangold is also a member of the committee.  Members will have regular bi-monthly meetings beginning in April each year to make adjustments in playing levels.  Current color chart levels and Rating Committee criteria are posted on the bulletin board.

The CTC Board has directed that the committee make rating adjustments both upward and downward after reviewing input from leagues, tournaments, instructors and others, including tracking league and tournament scores each season to assist in moving people up and down to the appropriate color ranking.

One-page Rating Review Request Forms are available in the box located below the bulletin board and from committee members or by email.  These forms include requests for members to move down in rating as well as up.  As a retirement community, time will eventually affect playing levels and members can greatly aid the committee and community by making periodic self-evaluations and by voluntarily requesting a rating adjustment.
