Premier Player Group. Players ranked as a year-end top 30 player (commitment play - ers) or have a current protected ranking within the top 10 are eligible to be selected in the premier player group for purposes of fulfilling the restriction on who is eligible to be named as an additional Wild Card at an ATP Tour 500 event. The size of the premier player group shall be six (6) players plus two (2) alternates selected as follows: 

Six (6) players shall be selected as “regional” premier players (A+) by each of the three (3) regions (Americas, European and International). Each region shall also des - ignate two (2) alternates as A1 and A2. The regional EVP’S shall solicit input from their respective events to determine the six (6) regional selections, plus alternates. These six (6) players and the two (2) alternates shall be presented to the Board at the final Board meeting of the previous year for approval. 

In the event that an A+ player becomes injured or otherwise is not able to compete for an extended period of time, as specified below, he will be replaced by the A1 player designated by the region. 

The same procedure will be followed in the event that a second player needs to be replaced as determined below. 

If additional A+ players are required and the designated A1 and A2 players have al - ready been promoted or are otherwise not available, then the A+ replacement player will be the next highest ranked player on the most current FedEx ATP Rankings. 

Replacement protocol.  The replacement of a Premier Player will automatically oc - cur when any of the following apply: 

1) A Premier Player has withdrawn / retired from an event due to illness or injury and has been out of competition for sixty (60) days; or 

2) A Premier Player has announced that due to illness / injury or other reasons he will be out of competition for a period of at least sixty (60) days; or 

3) A Premier Player announces his retirement; in this case he is replaced immedi - ately following his last event. 

Note:  The count shall begin on the withdrawal deadline date; the date of the retire - ment; the date of the late withdrawal; or the date of the on-site withdrawal, whichever was chronologically first. 

A player must not compete in any other tennis event during those periods. 

If the replaced player returns to competition during the season, he shall be reinstated as a premier A+ player upon the start of his first match (singles or doubles) in his first ATP Tour event.
