You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Champions Tennis League (CTL)''' was a [[team tennis]] tournament in [[India]] held two times only in November 2014 and in late 2015, across six Indian cities. The first edition of Champions Tennis League was held from 17 to 26 November 2014, across [[Mumbai]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Delhi]], [[Pune]], [[Bangalore]], and [[Chandigarh]]. The second edition was held from 23 November to 6 December 2015.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.millenniumpost.in/NewsContent.aspx?NID=157354 | title=Champions Tennis League from Nov 23-Dec 6 | date=2 October 2015 | access-date=5 November 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930120008/http://www.millenniumpost.in/NewsContent.aspx?NID=157354 | archive-date=30 September 2015 | url-status=dead ))</ref>

==Background==
The Champions Tennis League is a professional tennis league held in [[India]] where the team captains are [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] veterans and the players are among the best in the world. It is a privately owned tennis league, owned and operated by [[Vijay Amritraj]]'s sports management company Second Serve Pvt. Ltd., which operates other integrated sports and entertainment formats in India and overseas.

==Format==
The player draft for each season of CTL is conducted without an auction with each team picking four players from a pool of 24. The pool consists of six legends, six international [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] players, six international [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] players, and six Indian players. Each CTL team features an [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] and [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] player, an international legend as their playing captain, a noted Indian male tennis player, plus a top ranked junior Indian girl and boy.

The league consists of six teams, split into two zones. Each zone has three teams, with each team playing the other two teams on a home and away basis to decide the zonal standings. Two teams competing against each other is called a tie. The teams with the highest number of games (not sets) won in their respective zones will advance to the final, where they play each other for the Champions Tennis League trophy.

Apart from the Champions Tennis League Cup, two individual awards are given out: the Robert Amritraj award and the Margaret Amritraj award. The Robert Amritraj award is given to the Most Valuable Player (MVP) who has won the most games throughout the tournament, while the Margaret Amritraj award is given to the best Indian player in the tournament, who has won the most games among the Indian players.

===2014 format===

In 2014, the CTL saw 13 matches played over a 10-day period between 17 and 26 November.<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Sports/Tennis/Top-Stories/Ferrer-Venus-set-to-star-in-Champions-Tennis-League/articleshow/44080999.cms], ''Times Of India '', 1 Oct 2014</ref> Each tie consisted of 5 sets, with each considered as a match. The winner of a match was the player / doubles team that won 6 games. The winner of the tie was the team that won the highest number of games across all 5 sets. The winners' prize money was Rs. 1 crore, while the runner-up prize was Rs. 50 lakhs.

===2015 format===

The 2015 edition of CTL was announced by [[Vijay Amritraj]] on 23 September 2015, at a press conference in Mumbai.<ref>[http://www.apnnews.com/2015/09/23/vijay-amritraj-announces-champions-tennis-league-season-2/], ''APN News '', 23 Sep 2015</ref> The press conference also saw the draft of the players into each team. In 2015, CTL featured six city based teams across India and saw 13 matches played over a 2-week period between 23 November and 6 December. The winners' prize money was [[Indian rupee|Rs.]] 1 [[crore]], while the runner-up prize was [[Indian rupee|Rs.]] 50 [[lakhs]].((fact|date=July 2022))

Each tie will consist of 5 sets with each set being considered as a match. Unlike the 2014 edition, the winner of a match was the player/doubles team that wins 5 games, not 6. The winner of the tie was the team that wins the highest number of games across all 5 sets.((fact|date=July 2022))
