Current System
The current system utilises a rolling format in which a player's rank is calculated from points accumulated over the preceding two years, with points attained from tournaments in the current season replacing the points from the corresponding tournaments from two seasons ago. Unlike the previous system where the rankings were only updated annually, the rankings are now updated after every ranking tournament. The rankings set the seedings at the start of the season, and at further points throughout.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or system:
“The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that positions be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one’s contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
