Coaches, before the match, decide the order in which the sets will be played. Each player on a team usually plays in at least one of the five sets.

), Fred Barman, and Jordan Kaiser. The league began play in May 1974 with George MacCall as Commissioner of the 16 teams: Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Florida, Hawaii, Houston, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco.
The original league format included a four colored tennis court, a 44 contest season, and teams of at least two men and two women. A match consisted of the first player or team to win five games, with a nine point tiebreaker at four all, and no-ad scoring in: women’s singles and doubles, men’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. This made WTT the first professional sports league to give equal weight to each man and woman competing for their teams.
It was the first professional sports experience for Jerry Buss
(eventual owner of NBA's Los Angeles Lakers
and the NHL's Los Angeles Kings
), and for Bob Kraft (eventual owner of the NFL's New England Patriots
and the MLS's New England Revolution
).
