There is a general feeling that in the Maryland District of the Mid-Atlantic section that this year will be a bump up year for the NTRP rankings.
The argument goes that the teams from the Mid-Atlantic that went to Nationals did well enough to boost their ratings. Since getting to Nationals means that a player is generally towards the top of the ratings scale to begin with this will drive up the ratings of others in the leagues.
I would like to think that this will happen but I don't think I am close enough to the top of the rating to get bumped up.
Which leads me to - - - - - Goals for 2016
1. Play more singles
2. Find a team to play up on (or failing that, Captain a team)
3. Get maximum play out of all of my partners - especially those that are at the bottom of level or a level below playing up.
4. Have fun on the courts
5. Stay healthy
6. Get my serve speed measured at the Citi Open tournament
Post Note: I don't think this will be a massive bump up year, there are always 5-15 players that get bumped up and it may be closer to 15 this year but it won't be a mass migration)
