Countable points include points earned in 2013, plus points earned at the 2012 Davis Cup final and the late-season 2012 Challengers played after the 2012 ATP World Tour Finals. To qualify, a player who finished in the 2012 year-end top 30 must compete in four Grand Slam tournaments and eight ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments during 2013. They can count their best six results from ATP World Tour 500, ATP World Tour 250 and other events (Challengers, Futures, Davis Cup, Olympics) toward their ranking. To count their best six, players must have fulfilled their commitment to 500 events – 4 total per year (at least 1 after the US Open). Additionally, commitment players will no longer need to enter the 500 events 12 weeks in advance but instead go back the normal 6-week entry deadline. If eligible to play in one of the Grand Slam or ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments, a player must count the points from these tournaments, even if it is 'a zero pointer' because he missed the event. Just as in Formula One and numerous other sports, if a competitor misses a race or an event, he loses his chance to earn points. Players with direct acceptance who do not play an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament will be suspended from a subsequent ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event, which will be the next highest points earned ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event within the next 12 months. If an injured player is on site within the first three days of a tournament to conduct promotional activities over a two-day period, a suspension will not be enforced but a 0-pointer will be counted on a player's ranking.2013 ATP Rulebook http://es.atpworldtour.com/~/media/F3368A417F4E4EA29D76A7478045CA24.ashx PDF 2013 14 November 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20120817055457/http://es.atpworldtour.com/~/media/F3368A417F4E4EA29D76A7478045CA24.ashx 17 August 2012 dead dmy-all If a player does not play enough ATP 500 events and does not have an ATP 250 or Challenger appearance with a better result, the Davis Cup is counted in the 500s table (if the player entered or achieved better results). If a player does not play enough ATP 250 or Challenger events, the World Team Championship is counted in the 250s table (if the player entered or achieved better results). If a player could not be present in all required tournament classes (i.e. because of an injury), all uncounted ATP 250 or Challenger results are eligible to be included in his 18 valid tournaments. In teams rankings, Challenger points are excluded. A player who is out of competition for 30 or more days, due to a verified injury, is not penalized. The 2013 ATP World Tour Finals counts as an additional 19th tournament in the ranking of its eight qualifiers at season's end, while the Davis Cup Final points count towards the next year's race.ATP World Tour Rankings-FAQ http://www.atpworldtour.com/rankings/rankings-faq.aspx Contenders points breakdown Players in gold were the qualifiers.
