Since its inception in the early 70s, World Team Tennis (WTT) has been an innovator in the tennis world. Many of WTT’s novel rules have been designed to make the game a “fan-friendly” sport. WTT is all about the fans, it’s a little bit rock n’ roll and a whole lot of fun. Fans are encouraged to come out and cheer local teams on being loud, exciting and innovative.

A World Team Tennis (WTT) league consists of at least three teams. A team has a minimum of four players, two men and two women. Team matches consist of six events, with one set each of men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and two mixed doubles. The first team to reach eight (8) games wins each set. A ninepoint tiebreaker (first to 5 points) is played if a set reaches four all. One point is awarded for each game won. If necessary, Overtime and a Supertiebreaker are played to determine the outright winner of the match.

Game Scoring:
Game scoring is no-ad (first team to win four points wins the game). Should the game reach deuce (three points each), the receiver chooses the side from which he/she will receive serve. In mixed doubles, the serve is always gender-to-gender at 3-3. Each game counts as one point in the team’s cumulative match score. Players change sides after every four games. Lets are played and either partner may return the let serve.

Winning teams from your local league may advance to National Qualifiers and ultimately the National Championships.
