What is Impact Team Tennis?

ITT (FORMERLY World Team Tennis "WTT") is a Co-ed team format that consists of 6 no-ad sets per team match played on 2 courts. First up: one set each of men's and women's doubles.  Then: one set each of men's and women's singles. Last: 2 sets of mixed doubles. Total games won from all sets determines the winner (not necessarily the set winner.) Substitutions and coaching are allowed during the match. Click here to view all ITT Rules

 

What is an ITT team?

A team must have three men and three women, as a minimum. This allows for periods of rest and subbing in matches.

 

Who can play?

Adults (18 & over) may sign up as a team or as an individual.

 

When do matches start?

Matches for Fall and Spring Tournaments may begin as early as 6pm on Friday evening.

Summer Tournament begins Thursday night

 

 

What Divisions (levels of play) are offered?

3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 and below

 

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     Nancy- 3.5

 Jim- 3.5     Joan- 3.0

 

The top two NTRP rated men and top two NTRP rated women averaged: 

4.5 man + 4.5 man + 3.5 woman + 3.5 woman = 16. 16 divided by 4 equals 4.0.

All other men must be 4.5 or lower.  All other women must be 3.5 or lower.

​

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 3-4 men and 3-4 women. Click here to determine your NTRP level.

 

Where do we play?

Each Tournament location is set independently and posted above.

​

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 cannot commit to the entire season, we will place you on a substitute list. You will be called by myself or a team captain in the event they need a replacement player.

 

Note to substitute players:

Subs may be permitted subject to NTRP rules.  Please request more information.

 

Why register via the Internet?

You are not an official league participant until you have registered online. When you register via the Internet site you will be e-mailed league information during the season and your ITT Member Benefits (ITT Newsletter, discounts on hotel, rental cars, 2 for 1 tickets, plus more).

 

What is the cost?

between $45 and $60 depending on event.

See registration link for fee.
