October - Nominations close Sunday 1st November - close of ATP events in Vienna and Basle, and WTA in Tokyo and Guangzhou. Vote to be held Sun 1st Nov/ Tues 3rd Nov
November - Nominations close Sunday 29th November - end of Davis Cup Finals weekend, WTA events only at 125 level. Vote to be held Sun 29th Nov/Tues 1st Dec
December - Nominations close Sunday 20th December - I will exclude Xmas week in ITF (there are currently M15 events in Bali and M15/W15 in Antalya that week - although maybe one or two Brits will play, I think December PoM and subsequent PoS can continue without them!!) so I can get the December vote in before Xmas. Vote to be held Sun 20th Dec/ Tues 22nd Dec
Player of Season process will then start, aim is to run that as follows:
Wild Card Nominations - Will open Tues 1st December and close Sunday 20th December
Wild Card Vote - to run Sunday 27th December to Wednesday 30th December, to allow for more than one round of votes
Player of the Season Votes:
Round One - Sat 2nd Jan to Mon 4th Jan Semis - Tues 5th Jan to Thurs 7th Jan Final - Friday 8th Jan to Sunday 10th Jan
This will therefore wrap it all up a week before Aussie Open, and just before qualies starts, whereas last season we overlapped.
