WTP Tour

iOS Universel / Sports

Background
The tennis market lacks a combined international ranking program specially designed for players and coaches. Currently, it is not possible to attend international tournaments and gain points or ranking/rating except ATP/WTA and ITF. Obviously, there are many different national systems that protects specific goals and national interests. Additionally, the new ITF/ATP/WTA systems are making it more difficult for newcomers to start a career. We see a need of prize money tournaments that also can be combined as independent prize money tournament, pre-qualifications in future or as a separate tour attached to a World Ranking.

Purpose
The purpose of our project is to offer a platform for players, coaches and all ranking systems used nationally and internationally. Simultanousely, we are creating possibilities for sponsors to enter a complete program instead of supporting only one athlete.

Aim
The aim is to introduce a complete new combined world ranking. WTP recognize all other systems and combines them all in to one platform. That means, it will be possible to play tournaments over national boarders and still gain points at home or at the ATP/ITF/WTA level. WTP doesn´t compete with other systems. WTP bring athletes, event managers and coaches together. It is an overall aim of WTP to introduce a ranking to students that are starting to play the game. Start-up players can achieve WTP points depending of skill level through an assessment program. Such evaluation test can only be done by a PTCA certified assessor.

Method
We will start to develop the digital ID-card for all participants. WTP will use the UTR (Universal Tennis Rating) system to promote UTR as a world wide rating system. UTR is a rating system whereas WTP is a ranking system. The difference is that all systems are valued in the WTP combined ranking including UTR.
