[edit]Problems with the NTL tournaments and the Pros tournaments, in fact :
Hollywood, Oakland, Los Angeles, Fort Worth, Cologne weren't some NTL Tournaments because of the WCT players presence like Riessen, Barthès, Okker or Newcombe, Roche, Moore, Holmberg... (see WCT Wikipedia pages)
They've called only Pro tournaments because of the participation of WCT players.
NTL players are only : Roy Emerson, Andrés Gimeno, Richard "Pancho" Gonzales, Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall and Fred Stolle.... with the women pro players too. And a NTL tournament is only composed by NTL players and sometimes with the help of one-two Pro(s) Independent(s) in a pro tournament (for example, Segura in 1968 and in 1969 or Hoad in 1968 or other players, they weren't under contract with NTL or WCT).
During the period 1968-mid 1970, there was the existence of two groups (NTL and WCT) with three professionals circuits (WCT, NTL and WCT + NTL together).
The story of the NTL takes end when Lamar Hunt buys the contracts of the six players of the NTL at the beginning of the summer 1970, finally all the NTL players integrated the WCT organization.
I'm sorry, a large part of this page is false. Sorry.
