| What is a World TeamTennis Corporate League? |
| The Love of Tennis McGuinty Grand Slam is corporate co-ed tennis promoting goodwill among corporations and competitive fun for area tennis players. The matches consist of 6 sets (1 set of men's and women's doubles, 1 set of men's and women's singles and 2 sets of mixed doubles). Total games won from all sets determines the winner. Substitution and coaching are allowed during the match. There is no-ad scoring. This is for all levels from beginners to advanced we focus more on fun, teamwork and networking. |

| What is a WTT team? |
A team must have 4 players, 2 men and 2 women as a minimum. You may have up to 10 players which allows for periods of rest and missing matches. We recommend 5 players as you will be playing lots of games and substitution is allowed.

| 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.
