World Team Tennis

This is a nontraditional coed league. Each team match consists of six sets: one set each of men's doubles, women's doubles, men's singles and women's singles and two sets of mixed doubles. The mixed doubles are on two separate courts, and each court will play one set. The winner of the team match is determined by the total number of games won. This league is different than United States Tennis Association because coaching is allowed during the match, and you may make substitutions between points. You do not have to be a member of USTA, META or the Eastman tennis club to participate.

Gameplay

Teams consist of a minimum of four players (two men and two women) and a maximum of 10 players on the roster. For the "3.0 and below" division, you must be rated 3.0 or lower.  For the "3.5 division" and "4.0 division," we will be using the WTT team average rule to determine the team level (average of the rating of the two highest rated men and women on the team). The 4.0 division plays on Monday nights, and the 3.5 and 3.0 divisions play on Thursday nights.
