Men and women can join. The listed playing level applies to everyone. Ratings are self-reported; matching numbers do not guarantee an even game.

USTA reference: In adult NTRP, a 4.0 woman and a 3.5 man generally have an equal chance of winning against each other. This is a general guide, not a guaranteed matchup or an automatic change to your rating.

How to compare playing levels

Adult NTRP ratings use separate men’s and women’s scales. Compare rally consistency, serve, pace and match experience as well as the number. Check the game details before joining; if unsure, ask the host or Lobby.

For a shared description, intermediate means you can serve and sustain rallies; intermediate–advanced means you can control direction and handle faster rallies; advanced means you can sustain pace, spin and tactical play under pressure. These are informal descriptions, not verified ratings or NTRP conversions.
