AUSTRALIAN RANKINGS POINTS ALLOCATION TABLE
2010 will see a simplified tournaments pathway in Australia, with easy to follow levels for both junior and open tournaments. Each AR tournament listed in the calendar on the following pages has been assigned an AR points level. These levels will correspond to the 2010 Australian Ranking points table now available via www.tennis.com.au > Players > Rankings
AUSTRALIAN MONEY TOURNAMENTS
The hugely popular AMTs will now be spread across five tiers - Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and White Series AMT's. The Platinum level tournaments will be the original $10,000 AMTs that first joined the national tennis calendar in 2006, and the Gold, Silver, Bronze and White Series AMTs will be rebranded tournaments from the National Open Tournaments calendar. Each tier of AMT must adhere to strict prizemoney distributions. Select tournaments will also offer points in the 18/u age group, but no prizemoney.
AMT Prizemoney Breakdown
All tournaments operating under the Australian Money Tournament brand in 2010 must abide by the following prizemoney breakdown. This breakdown will relate to the Men's Open Singles, the Women's Open Singles, the Men's Open Doubles and the Women's Open Doubles only. This will allow athletes to know on a consistent basis how much prizemoney is going to be paid out at AMT events across the country.
OPTUS JUNIOR TOUR
The tournaments under the Optus Junior Tour will offer points across the 12/u, 14/u and 16/u age groups. Select tournaments will also offer points in the 18/u age group. The top level of tournament is the Optus National Junior Championships, classified in the points table as Platinum events. The level of points then depreciate to Gold, Silver, Bronze and White, which offers the lowest amount of points within each age group.
