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?

Yes. We will help place you on a team if you do not have one. Before regular season play begins if you register without a team name, we will contact you about teams looking for players or open play nights where players and captains can recruit players or form their own team(s). After regular season play has begun your name is available to captains looking for substitutes or additional players.

Note to substitute players:

Once you have competed twice for a team (played in any two team matches), you are considered a member of that team.
