Special Exempts (SEs 2015)
From 2015 on every International tournament will have space for 4 Special Exempts ( 2 for Singles and 2 for Doubles)
Challenger Race Standings from certain periods will determine the holders of the Spots
All managers of International Tournaments should have space for 2 SEs for Singles and Doubles and owners of a SE have time until 2nd deadline to commit to a tournament.
SE holders have to request their SE till Monday 6PM CET (24 hours after the first deadline).
If they don´t request their SE in time or they don't need their SE as they are in MD anyway, then it gets transferred to the SE ALTs (the next person/team in the race), who can request it until 2nd deadline of a tournament.
SE spot will be cleared if it isn´t used once the 2nd deadline of a tournament is over.
In case of a tie between players/teams the order will be determined by this:
1. The highest number of points from one single challenger tournament during the period, then if needed, the second highest and so on
2. Number of challengers played during the period
3. Challenger points earned during the year
4. Number of challengers played during the year
5. TT ranking (for Doubles combined ranking)
