| What Divisions (levels of play) are offered? |
| WTT uses the USTA rating system. We are accepting registration at the 2.5/3.0 level, 3.5 level and 4.0 level. We will add a 4.5 level if enough people sign up. |
| |
| 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.

| |
| Can I register as an individual/substitute/team? |
You can register as an individual (we will make every effort to find an existing team for you to join in any given season), as part of a partial team (we will assign other players to complete your team), or a full team.
If you register as an individual needing a team, please realize that we will not contact you regarding your team assignment until after all registrations are in (approximately one week prior to the season/tournament). Please be assured that we will contact you and you will be assigned a team, so keep the dates open and plan on playing.
If you are registering as team captain and would like your team included in the drop down menu on the registration form, please send an email to info@delawarewtt.com with your team name and level.
If you are joining an established team you will be able to identify that team as part of the registration process. When we form new teams to accommodate everyone, one of the players must be willing to be captain. |
| |
| Note to substitute players: |
You must register and your playing is subject to the decision/judgment of the League Director who will independently assess your NTRP rating.
Substitute players must be approved by the local league coordinators, can pay a reduced fee and are only allowed to play in one match. If a sub plays in more than one match they are subject to the full league fee as they are now eligible to play for that team at National Qualifier events and Nationals. |
