Main Draw Bonus Points

----------------------



The following points are awarded for defeating a player ranked #1 through 200. The match

must actually be played, not a walk-over. Double Bonus Points are awarded instead of

Regular Bonus Points in the case of Grand Slam matches and best-of-5-set finals in Super

Qualifying Points

---------------------------

A player gaining entry to an event through a qualifying competition shall receive one

half the points awarded to a second round loser in the main draw, in addition to whatever

points they

actually earn in the event.



In Grand Slam qualifying tournaments, players receive 1 point for losing in the first

round of qualifying, 3 points for losing in the second round, and 5 points for losing in

the third round. In ATP Championship Series Tournaments, players in qualifying receive

1 point for losing in the first round and one quarter of the points a main draw second

round loser receives (plus bonus points) for losing in the second round. As of 1997

bonus points for beating ranked players are awarded in Grand Slam and ATP Championship

Series events. Neither ranking nor bonus points are awarded to players who fail to

qualify for ATP World Series tournaments.





Ranking Penalty: Withdrawals After 12 Noon Eastern Time USA

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a player withdraws from an event after 12 Noon Eastern Time USA on the Friday before

the start of the event, he will be penalized in the rankings by one event per 12 month

period, e.g. he will be ranked by his best 13 events instead of his best 14 events after

one such infraction, by his best 12 events after 2 such infractions, etc. The penalty

shall remain in force for 52 weeks after the time of the infraction. This penalty shall

be waived if, within the first 3 days of the main draw, the player is examined on-site by

the tournament doctor and deemed incapable of competing at a professional level.
