Many players from both the Northwest and Southwest have been given new player ratings. All Players should click here to see if you have been given a USAPA player rating. Entering a sanctioned rated tournament in a rated event lower than your rating could result in loss of ranking points for that tournament or more! You have until February 15, 2008 to appeal your rating! Go to the usapa.org ratings page for instructions on how to file an appeal if you disagree with your rating. Players without a rating may self rate themselves, but require approval of their rating by the Tournament Director.
