USATT Team League Overview

How It Works

The regular season begins the first week of January 2007 and continues for 16 weeks. Each team is part of a Circuit. Each Circuit is based on geography so you and your teammates will have time to discuss strategy during short road trips. Circuits consist of no more than 8 teams. You play each team twice, a maximum of 14 ties. Two makeup weeks are built into the schedule, one mid-season and one at season’s end for missed ties caused by inclement weather, unavoidable circumstances, etc. The schedule of matches is flexible to an extent, with an entire week being given for the tie to be played.

The two teams have the responsibility of arranging the playing time and location. The circuit runs as a 'Home and Away' series, where each team meets other teams in the Circuit twice. Tie sheets, for recordkeeping during play, are available on this website. Schedules of play are issued by the League Administrator. Results are submitted through this site by Team Captains of the winning team.

How Games Are Played

Matches are best 3 of 5 games to 11 points. Team ties are best 5 of 9 matches. Each team will carry a roster of no less than 3 and no more than 8 players.

Championships: At the end of the regular season, teams with the best win/loss record will be invited to a regional championship. Top finishers from the regional championships will then be invited to compete in the Team League Nationl Championships to be held at the 2007 US. Open Championships.
