Tournament Qualifying Eight players/teams to compete in singles/doubles. To qualify, players/teams have to play a minimum of eight WTA 1000 or WTA 500 tournaments during the season. Players/teams are qualified in the following sequence: Ranked top seven in the leaderboard; The highest-ranked current-year Grand Slam winning player/team ranked from eighth to twentieth; The second-highest-ranked current-year Grand Slam winning player/team ranked from eighth to twentieth, if one player/team ranked in the top seven withdraws; The next player who is ranked eighth or below.

In the singles, point totals are calculated by combining point totals from eighteen tournaments (excluding ITF and WTA 125 tournaments). Of these eighteen tournaments, a player's results from the following events are included: The four Grand Slam events; Six best mandatory WTA 1000 tournaments from the following seven events: Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome, Toronto/Montreal, Cincinnati and Beijing; The best mandatory WTA 1000 tournament from the following three events: Doha, Dubai and Wuhan; (for the players who played the main draw of least two such tournaments) the best seven results from any other mandatory WTA 1000, WTA 500 and WTA 250 tournaments.

In the doubles, point totals are calculated by any combination of twelve tournaments throughout the year. Unlike in the singles, this combination does not need to include results from the Grand Slams or WTA 1000 tournaments.

Format Both the singles and doubles event features eight players/teams in a round-robin event, split into two groups of four.

Over the first six days of competition, each player/team meets the other three players/teams in her group, with the top two in each group advancing to the semifinals. The first-placed player/team in one group meets the second-placed player/team in the other group, and vice versa. The winners of each semifinal meet in the championship match.

Round robin tie-breaking methods The final standings are made using these methods:

Greatest number of match wins Greatest number of matches played Head-to-head results if only two players are tied, or if three players are tied then:

a. If three players each have the same number of wins, a player having played less than all three matches is automatically eliminated and the player advancing to the single-elimination competition is the winner of the match-up of the two remaining tied players. b. Highest percentage of sets won c. Highest percentage of games won
