TEAM	CAPTAIN	TEAM PHILOSOPHY
SENIOR LEAGUE
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/CUESTA TC SM4.0A (KillerSquirrels)	Mike Rodgers / Bob Dickerson
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK SW3.0A	Patsy Duke / Debbie Ryan
MIXED DOUBLES LEAGUE
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK MX6.0A	Patsy Duke / Douglas Anderson
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK MX7.0A	John Farcich / Liz Chambers
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK MX8.0A	Kathy Wheeler / Jimmy Chu	Recreational
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK MX8.0B	Dan Mah / Hanna Bui	The team philosophy will be to play the best available teams for each match till we are eliminated from playoff contention . So, there is possibility that some players will not get to play. However, the team philosophy may change if we do not have enough strong players to form a team with a chance of winning the league championship. Players on the team must be a paid up member of MVTC, show good sportsmanship and exhibit constructive behavior toward their playing partners. Otherwise, as the captain, I reserve the right to bench or drop players not meeting these criteria. If you agree to the team philosophy and player criteria, you are welcome to join the team. You may bring your own partner if he/she agrees to the team philosophy and meets the player criteria.
ADULT LEAGUE
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK W3.0A	Laura Bloomquist / Patsy Duke
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK M3.0A	Douglas Woolverton / Douglas Anderson	MV 3.0 team philosophy is to play competitively and have fun. Players will be scheduled for matches based on commitment, participation in practices, compatibility with teammates and availability.
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK M3.5A	John Farcich / Mike Wobber	To be competitive have fun and improve our tennis skills.
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK M4.0A (l'Avatar)	Qiao Chen	While we will compete hard by maximizing the potential of each player, we also realize that many of us play in USTA simply because we enjoy playing competitive tennis in a team environment. Getting into sectional or national is a goal, but not the ultimate one. A player's play time is dependent on practice participation, rapport with other players, scheduling availability, willingness to play alternate, and relative strengths and weaknesses as compared to the opponent of a given match.
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK M4.0B	Dana Wyse / Louis Hsiao	We are running a competitive team in which we will play the top players, as determined by ladder play, until we are eliminated from the play-offs.
MOUNTAIN VIEW TC/RENGSTORFF PK M4.5A (Taggers!)	Tony Serksnis / Paul Chen	Taggers will strike that beautiful balance between great fun and trying to make playoffs -- lineups decided by demonstrated skill level and chance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How can I determine my rating?

A. NTRP, National Tennis Rating Program, is a classification program that identifies and describes levels of tennis ability. The NTRP is used to assure equitable competition in USA League tennis. There used to be three kinds of NTRP ratings: self ratings, visual ratings, and computer ratings.

USTA NorCal has moved to Self Rating in place of the traditional Visual Rating Sessions. New NorCal players, and players with expired ratings will be the first to participate in this new program. They will enter the program by rating themselves using the NTRP General and Specific Characteristics of Various Playing Levels. Visual and computer ratings involve the United States Tennis Association (USTA). Year-end computer ratings are generated annually after playing two USTA league matches in a season. For more information on the rating system, please click here to go to the USTA Norcal web site.

PLEASE NOTE: If you don't have a current, valid rating, either self-rating or computer generated, you will need to rate yourself. If you don't know whether or not you have a valid rating, the NORCAL website will prompt you when you try to register for a team. You will need to follow the guidelines and all is self-explanatory for you to successfully rate yourself. For additional info Self-Rating info on the Norcal Tennis web site click here.
