What is a WTT team?
A team roster should have at least 8-10 players (men and women). A match can be played with as few as two men and two women. This allows for periods of rest and missing matches.

* A team may have more than 10 players on their roster as long as at least 50% of their roster is employees. * Please note that only 10 players may advance to the Nationals from each team.

 
Corporate League Rules:
  • At least 50% of your team has to be employees.
  • Players must compete in at least 2 matches to be eligible to advance with their team.
  • A team must have at least 2 employees present to play at each match.
  • Divisions are based on the team average NTRP rating of the top two men and top two women.
  • Players must be 18 or over to play in the league.
 
Local League Rules:
Players may be added to your team once the season has started, as long as that players NTRP rating does not raise the team average above their existing division.
 
Captain's Responsibilities:
Captain’s responsibilities include the following:
o Recruit players for your corporate team

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. Click here to determine your NTRP level.
