IBM/ATP RANKING METHOD
======================
Players are ranked by their best 14 results in events offering IBM/ATP
Tour computer points during the previous 52 weeks. IBM/ATP Tour Points
are calculated by adding tournament category points and bonus points
together. Tournament categories are: Grand Slam, Championship Series,
World Series, Challenger and Satellite. Each category has different
point values assigned to tournaments based on prize money awarded.
Bonus points are awarded for defeating a player who is ranked in the
IBM/ATP Top 200.
