i. Year 1 of new Tournament: MPC will be equal to the MPC of the prior Tournament.

iv. Year 4 of new Tournament: Year 3 MPC multiplied by the respective Tournament’s PSI Growth from (x) average PSI for Year 1 and Year 2, to (y) average PSI for Year 2 and Year 3. 

v. Year 5 of new Tournament: MPC to be calculated in accordance with this Section XIV.B. 

e. Unanticipated Consequences of the PMF 

After the WTA or the Independent Accountant notifies a Tournament of its MPC for a Tour Year, the Tournament may request that the PMF Committee adjust its MPC because of: (i) a one-year, extreme decrease in the Tournament’s PSI; or (ii) unanticipated consequences of the PMF that the PMF Committee did not contemplate when creating the PMF. The Tournament must submit such request in writing to the WTA or the Independent Accountant with relevant documentation to substantiate the one-year, extreme decrease in PSI or unanticipated consequences, as applicable. 

Upon receiving a request under this Section XIV.B.3.e, the Player Representative Member, Tournament Representative Member, and CEO shall review it and, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section XIV.B.6, vote to determine whether a one-year, extreme decrease in PSI or unanticipated consequences exist, with a simple majority carrying the vote. If the outcome of such a vote is that a one-year, extreme decrease in PSI or unanticipated consequences do not exist, then the request must be denied. If the outcome of such a vote is that a one-year extreme decrease in PSI or unanticipated consequences do exist, then in accordance with Section XIV.B.6.c the PMF Committee may make any or no adjustments to MPC as a result of the request in its sole discretion. For clarity, a determination that a one-year extreme decrease in PSI or unanticipated consequences exist does not obligate the PMF Committee to make any adjustment to the Tournament’s MPC.
