| 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 |
| |
Joe- 4.5 |
Mary- 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.
