and mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 1984 Virginia Slims World Championship Series: the Grand Slam tournaments, the Year-end championships and regular events. The players/nations are sorted by: total number of titles (a doubles title won by two players representing the same nation counts as only one win for the nation); highest amount of highest category tournaments (for example, having a single Grand Slam gives preference over any kind of combination without a Grand Slam title); a singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy; alphabetical order (by family names for players).
