The prize ladder
What each place is worth, as published
| Place | Draws it applies to | Ranking points | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Champion the cheque every draw is played for | Singles | 1,000 | $30,000 |
| Finalist | Singles | 700 | $20,000 |
| Semifinals | Singles | 350 | $15,000 |
| Quarterfinals | Singles | 175 | $9,375 |
| Round of 16 | Singles | 90 | $6,500 |
| Round of 32 | Singles | 15 | $4,250 |
A place on this ladder is the deepest round a player reached, not the deepest one they won. Losing a quarter-final is a quarter-finalist's cheque, which is why the money stops dead at the round a player went out in and does not accumulate on the way up.
How steeply the ladder falls
Each rung against the one above it
The table is a lookup and the chart is the argument. Table tennis pays its champion several times what the beaten finalist takes, and the drop from there to the quarter-finals is steeper again: the money is concentrated at the end of a week rather than spread across it.
Where the money actually went
Each rung times the number of players who stood on it
This is the fact the ladder cannot state. A first-round cheque is the smallest figure on the table, and there are more players collecting one than every other rung put together, so the bottom of the draw is often worth more in total than the semi-finals are.
Who collected it
Every rung of every draw, with the players on it
The draw read round by round against the ladder above. A doubles rung pays a pair, so the figure beside a doubles row is the rung itself and the two names share it.
