Points distribution

The points distribution was mostly the same for the 2015 season. Main draw rounds usually give a little less points, but there is no change for the champion. Points for qualifying rounds have changed in both directions depending on the tournament category. Points earned in 2014 retain their value until they expire after 52 weeks. What changed are the distribution of points for the WTA Finals and WTA Elite Trophy.
