OPEN ELIGIBILITY Open events are accessible to anyone regardless of age or level of play, however these tournaments mostly attract players who are of high caliber. Typically individuals who are rated 5.0 and up enter open tournaments. Open Ranking Calculation The point allocations are based on the ranking chart. If you lose your first match, whether you had a bye or not, you earn one point. All points earned will then be multiplied by the appropriate star value. In a round robin draw, the player losing all matches will receive a single point. In open events with qualifying rounds, first round losers in the qualifying will receive a single point. Eligibility of Results Open Rankings are calculated based upon a player’s best three results in the category. Results are based on the previous twelve-month period. The system is based on 52 weeks and deletes the 53rd week to produce the ranking list. Open National Rankings Events which offer a minimum of $500 prize money per event (men or women) are eligible for national ranking. The tournaments are classified by prize money; more points are awarded for higher-level events. The results are forwarded to Tennis Canada for inclusion in the national ranking system. |
