World Team Tennis at ITST

Interesting idea. I want to participate

We will need now only 4 players per team, right?

We can say at least 4...and no more than six. Two of the players can serve as alternates in case one of the scheduled players cannot play.

Yeah, it is written in one of my messages to you. ------ Every team have to have from 4 to 8 players (there can be reserves).

You have some great ideas! Please post them all here?

Ok, then I have some ideas:Every team have to have from 4 to 8 players (there can be reserves).One TE player,one Xbox Man's Singles,one Xbox Women's Singles and one PS3 Man's Singles. Every team have to choose one captain, the captain have to report the results and to tell the host the players he choose for the matches. Every team have to choose one court where he will play his matches when he is host. There will be two groups where the players will play. The groups will be make by draw. Example: If there are 10 teams per group, every team have to play 9 home and 9 away matches. At the end first from A group play vs second from B group and first from B group play vs second from A group - semifinals. At the end is the final. The matches will be play in 1 set.

The first team to reach five games wins each set. A nine-point tiebreaker is played if a set reaches four all. One point is awarded for each game won. If necessary, a Supertiebreaker is played to determine the outright winner of the match.

The home team captain determines the order of events. An event will be one set. So there can be first TE then women's and etc.. The home team captain choose.

I think just now try and keep it as simple as possible. No need making it 2 complicated yet. 4 per team just now if the interest picks up great. There will be many hurdles to overcome getting it off the ground in the first place. Many people will say great idea but not bother to play and so on. I'll help in any way I can can't have the wee sweetie Erikka doing it all herself.

Okay G. Dimitrov, I love the idea of the tiebreaker. We could reserve the Supertiebreaker if indeed both teams reach 4-4. If a team is 3-0 then the winner is automatic and the opposing team is out. I agree with Tamthewasp with keeping things simple. I think we can manage with teams of 4 for now...just alert the captains to keep recruiting for two or three more alternates. We want each player for each game and console to have a backup. Also another problem was that one or more players didn't have male or female players...as Xbox and PS3 allow four players to be the maximum number. I myself only have female players, and in this case, two skilled players can be substituted for lack of created male or female players. This would be Tomic and Lendl and Zvonareva and Bouchard.

Also G. Dimitrov sent me another fantastic idea that each home team captain chooses the order in which each of the matches are played. I would like each team to come up with there own name and possibly own logo...then choose a court that would represent their home court.

Great idea but if 2 teams are playing against each other an both captains differ on the order games should be played then it would cause arguments.

I don't wan't 2 be Mr. Negative but you have to look at all the potential pitfalls before an idea can go ahead

[Tamthewasp]

So lets say a week or 2 weeks 2 complete all the games. This gives all the captains and teams members to play there games and for any team team that fails to play a game a point deduction.

2 weeks is plenty of time to arrange an play a match

[BluudyEEfingaz]

Yes...we can randomly select which team is home and/or away for the first session of the WTT games and the team that plays first full round home will alternate next full round and it will be an away game. I think that could eliminate confusion. And yes...two weeks is perfect.

[BluudyEEfingaz]

Hi guys! Thanks for ALL of your interest and input. Here's what I've come up with for the rules so far. I've used a few of your ideas and I hope it still sounds interesting...let me know what you think!

I had an idea but it might suck worse than Murray.

1 game could be a 3 way match, it could be the mens or ws or even sim. It could be a best of 3 where max points are available. So you play your standard game then a serve and score of 21 points where you either get 1 point or half a point per point won so a game that ends 21- 15 would be 10.5 points to 7.5 points and also a percentage points match with similar rules. This could be captain v captain or the opposing captains chose the members from each team to play or even the home team chooses the matchup idk it prob sucks tbh.

It's not a bad idea, but it could get a bit confusing splitting points...i do like the variety of scoring methods provided in TS4.

For now, let's allow the schedule to look something like this: Okay...say I'm a captain of a team, a full schedule would read:

Xbox (WS) Player 1 vs. Player A [best of 2 sets+Super-Tiebreak]
PC-Tennis Elbow (MS) Player 2 vs. Player B [best 2 of 3 sets]
PS3 (MS) Player 3 vs. Player C [best of 2 sets+Super-Tiebreak]
PS3 (WS) Player 3 vs. Player C [best of 2 sets+Super-Tiebreak]
PC-Tennis Elbow (MS) Player 2 vs. Player B [best 2 of 3 sets]
