Bonus points, based on the rankings of opponents beaten in each round, are added. The only exception is the WTA Tour Championship, where a player gets the higher between (1) ranking points she gets based on the method described above and (2) her ranking point average going into the WTA Tour Championship (described below) plus any bonus points she receives there. The total points awarded for each tournament played within a 52-week period are added & then divided by the number of tournaments played in that same period (minimum divisor of 12 tournaments: if one plays 11 or fewer, her points will still be divided by 12). Unlike the men's system, all the women's results count with the exception of Fed Cup, Olympics, & exhibitions. A player must have played in at least three tournaments in the last calendar year to obtain a ranking. Information about the FAQ: The rec.sport.tennis FAQ is posted to r.s.tennis every month by Chris Smith, usually around the middle of the month. He sets the expiration date for those articles to a month. So they might still be on your news server, although some news servers ignore those expiration dates. They are also cross posted to rec.answers and news.answers. You can also get it via ftp (see below). The FAQ consists of 6 articles answering frequently asked questions about pro tournaments, rankings, players, equipment, media information, and miscellaneous tennis topics. -A1- How to Obtain the FAQ via FTP A copy of this FAQ is available via anonymous ftp on the machine rtfm.mit.edu [180.70.0.209].
