LTA rules for grade 6 competitions state that only ONE result against the same player will count in any one ratings re-assessment. This DOES NOT APPLY to the TennisUK matchplays.com programme and all results against the same opponent ARE eligible to the counted for ratings purposes.

The LTA introduced this rule to stop players increasing their rating by taking part in internal competitions (box leagues, matchplays etc) at their clubs and playing fellow club members on numerous occasions in the same ratings period. The TennisUK matchplays.com programme is considered as an external competition and is therefore exempt from this rule.
