Tournament
[edit]Qualifying
[edit]WTA Elite Trophy is an invitation-only event.
Singles qualifying
[edit]The field consists of the top 11 players not already qualified for the 2023 WTA Finals, plus either (a) the 12th-player not qualified for 2023 WTA Finals, or (b) a wild card. The final two alternates for the 2023 WTA Finals are eligible to play in WTA Elite Trophy even if they will participate in the WTA Finals. Point totals were calculated by combining points obtained from 16 tournaments. Of these 16 tournaments, a player's results from the four Grand Slam events, four out of the five WTA 1000 Mandatory tournaments, and (for Top 20 players at the end of 2022) the best results from two WTA 1000 non-Mandatory tournaments have to be included.
Doubles qualifying
[edit]Two teams composed of players that did not compete in the WTA Finals singles (except Finals Alternates) or doubles competitions, using the players’ combined doubles rankings as of the Monday after the final regular-season Tournament of the current Tour Year to determine the order of acceptance; and up to two teams composed of players that did not qualify to compete in the WTA Finals singles (except Finals Alternates) or doubles competitions and that include at least one Elite Trophy Singles Qualified Player or Elite Trophy Alternate, using the higher of the players’ combined singles or doubles rankings as of the Monday after the final regular-season Tournament of the current Tour Year to determine the order of acceptance.[citation needed] Plus two wild cards. For each wild card not given out, the next highest pair of players would become a participant.
Format
[edit]The singles event featured 12 players in a round robin event, split into four groups of three. Over the first four days of competition, each player met the other two players in her group, with the winner in each group advancing to the semifinal. The winners of each semifinal met in the championship match. The six doubles teams were split into two round robin groups, with the winner of each advancing to the final.
Round robin tie-breaking methods
[edit]The final standings of each group were determined by the first of the following methods that apply:[2]
- Greatest number of wins.
- Greatest number of matches played.
- In case of a 2-way tie:
- Head-to-head results
- In case of a 3-way tie:
