NEPC Skill Ratings
Our clubs have a diverse player base with varying levels of tournament experience, both regionally and nationally. This allows us to maintain accurate benchmarks for each skill level on par with established tournaments. For instance, our 3.5 male and female players are competitive with players rated between 3.5 and 3.9 in regional/national tournaments. Because we don’t differentiate senior players, some who excel in the 3.5 bracket at senior tournaments may find that they find their best play in our 3.0 skill bucket at NEPC events.
Events FAQs
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. If our FAQs don’t address your question, just contact us and we’ll happily respond.
NEPC reviews all available information to determine the most accurate skill rating for each player. This comprehensive approach includes evaluating performance in our competitive leagues, social play events, as well as any external tournaments. Our goal is to use a wide range of data to make the fairest skill rating decisions possible.
If you’re interested in having your skill level assessed, please let any NEPC staff know. If you’re new to NEPC and unsure about your skill level, it’s better to self-rate conservatively (if you are between a 3.0 and 3.5, self-rate as a 3.0). All players new to the NEPC will have their self-rating reviewed and verified by staff during club play.
Always use the waitlist on CourtReserve if you can’t get into something. This is how we know to add more courts to the event. Please know that if you are on the waitlist you can be added to an event up to an hour prior, so if you are no longer available please remove yourself from the waitlist.
We keep our events with no or minimal subs, so cancellations can leave us short players, which is no fun for anyone. Canceling within 24 hours of your booking is subject to a fee of 50% of the total cost. No-shows or failing to cancel before your start time are subject to a fee of 100% of the total cost.
Guests added to private reservations will be billed to the reserving player unless adjustments are made at the front desk. Court shoes are required for all bookings, and court assignments may change prior to check-in to maximize utilization and staffing.
Yes! Non-members can sign up 4 days in advance for private courts in Middleton and 3 days in advance in Rye or for any group play or 30 days in advance for classes.
