Neps? What's a Neps?

See what happens when we let foreigners in

It will be interesting as this change bubbles through the rankings week by week. For instance, suppose a 2009 tournament has the exact same results as the 2008 version. Players well get double the points, for the exact same performance. There will be some odd rankings changes, as each tournament goes on.

Martini, remember when the WTA eliminated Quality points a couple of years back? They adjusted them for the entire year before the season started, rather than let them come off by the week. It resulted in some ranking adjustment, if I recall correctly. I haven't read it yet, but I am wondering if the ATP will adjust everything before the start of the season, or let things progress weekly?
