How is it calculated?
For each match, the algorithm calculates a match rating and a match weight for each player. A player’s UTR Rating is the weighted average of up to 30 of their most recent match ratings. Only matches within the last 12 months count toward a player’s UTR.
Calculating Match Rating
Two factors are considered when calculating the match rating. The first factor is the UTR Rating difference between opponents. The second factor is the competitiveness of the match, as determined by the percent of total games won.
Given the UTR Rating difference, the algorithm expects a certain percent of total games won. The player who performs better than the algorithm’s expectation will see their match rating go up while the other player’s match rating will go down. When one player’s match rating increases, the other player’s match rating decreases by the same amount.
Note: If the two players have a different number of matches counting toward their rating, the overall UTR Rating may not increase or decrease by the same amount.
Calculating Match Weight
The following factors are used in the match weight calculation:
Format – As the match format increases in length, more weight is given. A match with a three-set format receives more weight than a match with an eight-game pro set format.
Competitiveness – As the UTR Rating difference between players increases, less weight is given. For example, imagine a player with a UTR of 6.00. A match played against an opponent with a UTR Rating of 5.00 or 7.00 receives more weight than a match played against an opponent with a UTR of 4.00 or 8.00.
Reliability – As the reliability of the opponent’s UTR Rating increases, more weight is given. A match played against an opponent who competes often and thus has a reliable UTR Rating receives more weight.
Time Degradation – As prior matches get older, less weight is given. Since the algorithm is a representation of the current form, it gives more credit to matches played within the last few months.

MLTC Newsletter – 14 Jan 2024
/in Club News /by RobHappy New Year Members!
In this newsletter information from our solicitor about proxy voting and how to book with Manly Tennis Centre outside of club times.
MLTC AGM – Question re Proxy voting
Following the 2023 AGM and questions raised at the meeting that proxy votes are allowed under the Corporations Act and as such should have been allowed at the AGM.
This opinion was not supported by the Clubs President. The meeting continued. The Club has paid for an official written legal opinion from Piper Alderman. A summary of that opinion is as follows.
Summary from Piper Alderman
Section 249X of the Corporation Act allows proxy votes. However, Section 249X is a replaceable rule that does not apply if the constitution contains an intention not to allow proxy votes. In this case the constitution contains an intention not to allow proxy votes (articles 60 and 61 of the constitution) by requiring members to be present to vote and by adopting the position under the Registered Clubs Act which does not allow proxy votes. The result is that proxy votes are not allowed.
The intention under the MLTC constitution has always been that if members want to vote at an AGM or EGM then they should attend in person to vote.
Article 61 of the Constitution makes it clear that the resolution will be determined by the votes of the members present at the AGM/EGM provided there is sufficient members present to constitute a quorum. If there are not sufficient members present to constitute a quorum then the meeting will be adjourned.
I hope this clarifies any issues in this regard.
Best wishes,
Virginia
