==================
WTA RANKING METHOD
==================

Players are awarded round points for each round they win plus 
bonus points for each win over a player ranked in the Virginia Slims
Top 500. Total points (round + bonus) are divided by the number of
tournaments played (minimum divisor of 12) to arrive at an average.
Points stay valid for 52 weeks from the date of the tournament.
Players must have at least 3 tournament appearances to appear in the
rankings.
