PROPOSED RANKING SYSTEM
There are three types of tournaments: Challengers, Tours, and Grand Slams. The International Tennis Association Executive Committee, to be filled by seven people with one being an executive director, will choose all hosts by a majority vote. If a tournament host disappears in the middle of the tournament for seven days without leaving a notice of absence, a new host will be chosen by the ITAEC and the tournament will continue from the point at which it had been postponed.
