| Determining Team Rating |
The average NTRP rating of the top two men and top two women players on your team determines the team rating.
| Example: |
| Joe - 4.5 |
Mary - 3.5 |
| Tom - 4.5 |
Jill - 3.5 |
| Bill - 4.0 |
Gail - 3.5 |
| Jim - 3.5 |
Joan - 3.0 |
|
|
The best two men and two women are: 4.5 + 4.5 + 3.5 + 3.5 = 16. 16 divided by 4 equals 4.0. This team could register for the 4.0 division or a higher division. A team consists of a minimum of two men and two women. Although the limit to the number of team members is ten, the suggested number of players is three men and three women.
