Member Teams
The league games are attended by seven teams, divided into two conferences on a geographical basis. The teams represent five US states (two from California ) and the District of Columbia . Compared to the previous season , there has been one change in the league: the owner of the Texas Wild team has moved the franchise under the new name California Dream to a suburb of Sacramento Citrus Heights . Thus, after a year-long break associated with the disbandment of the eminent Sacramento Capitals team, the WTT club reappeared in this city [1] .
