Throughout the year players will acquire points from playing Tier 1 and 2 events, at the end of the season the top 32 men and women on the Leaderboard will be invited to the ‘year end Masters’.

The Masters will take place over 4 days and will be a straight knock out event with round of 32 on day 1, round of 16 on day 2, quarter-finals & semi-finals on day 3, and finals on day 4.

All matches will be the best of 3 tie break sets, and the Finals officiated by a chair umpire.

The Leader board will be automatically updated after each event, and players will be selected for the finals based on points accrued with no requirement for a minimum number of events played.

If a player is unable to take part then their place will be allocated to the next person on the Leaderboard.

When two or more players have the same total number of points selection shall be made as follows;

1. the player who has played the fewest tournaments will be placed higher;

2. then the highest number of points gained from one single tournament, then if needed the second highest, and so on;

3. if still tied, then drawn by lot.
