You need to be ranked 40 or worst to enter a Challenger in Singles, 25 in Doubles.
You need to be ranked 80 or worst to enter a Future in Singles, 50 in Doubles.
The current idea is to have a Future on the same weeks than the Master Series, and a Challenger on the weeks with TET500/250.
We may change that though depending the situation & the participation level.
If a queue doesn't have enough players, it'll be merged with another tournament of the same week.
EDIT: as there's currently not enough players for lower ranked doubles draws, people playing the Challenger/Future Tournaments in Singles are allowed to queue for another tournament in Doubles on the same week.
