WTT Teams 1990-Present

[patmc16]

I was wondering if anyone has or knows of an on-line souce that would tell me all of the teams that have been in WTT, by season, from 1990 through the present. I have searched the web and have come up empty, except on the leage website which really only gives '06 teams. Either a list of teams or the year by year standings would do. I am having much better luck in finding info on teams from the 70's than I am in finding anything from the 90's through current. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the mid 90s, there was the Wichita Advantage (About 91 to 95). I don't remember exactly what years they played. They won the league title in 1993. I got to sit next to Jimmy Connor's wife during one match. They eventually moved to Springfield, Mo. (Lazers).

One of their rivals was the Kansas City Explorers, still there I believe.

I found this on Google from a University of Delaware press release:
"In 1995, the two-division league included the Atlanta Thunder,
Charlotte Express, Florida Twist, Idaho Sneakers, Kansas City
Explorers, New York Otbzz, Sacramento Capitals, St. Louis Aces,
Wichita Advantage and New Jersey Stars."

I used to work for the old Phoenix Smash years ago, and still have a copy of the 1992 WTT Media Guide lying around. It's not that thorough, but I can add the 1991 standings:

East Division
Atlanta Thunder 12 2
Charlotte Heat 7 7
New Jersey Stars 6 8
Raleigh Edge 5 9
Wellington Aces 5 9
Miami Breakers 3 11

West Division
San Antonio Racquets 13 1
Los Angeles Strings 8 6
Wichita Advantage 6 8
Sacramento Capitals 6 8
Newport Beach Dukes 6 8

Playoffs:
Divisional Semifinals
Charlotte 27, New Jersey 26
Los Angeles 29, Wichita 13

Divisional Finals
Atlanta 30, Charlotte 23
Los Angeles 25, San Antonio 24

Championship Match
Atlanta 27, Los Angeles 16

The guide only lists playoff results for 1990:
Semifinals
Raleigh 27, Miami Beach 17
Los Angeles 24, San Antonio 18

Championship Match
Los Angeles 27, Raleigh 16

86-89 only championship match is listed
1989: San Antonio 27, Sacramento 25
1988: Charlotte 27, New Jersey 22
1987: Charlotte 25, San Antonio 20
1986: San Antonio 25, Sacramento 23

Hope this helps.
