Entry System: The ranking system used by the atp and wta tours which is so named because it determines whether a player has a sufficiently high ranking to gain direct acceptance (not as a qualifier or wildcard) into the main draw of a given tournament. A player's entry system ranking is different from his or her race ranking, which is reset to zero at the beginning of each year. A player carries points and the associated entry ranking continuously unless those points are lost at a tournament at which the player had previously earned them.
