USTA Rating System

You can find more details here.^

Computer Rating: USTA has an algorithm that compares your match scores with your opponents for each match. It then give you a rating for your skill level once enough data has been input.

Self rating: If you are just starting out, there is a questionnaire to fill out which will attempt to give you a baseline rating to begin league play.

While the rating system is not perfect, it is a great tool to create league play with similar skill level players.
