For a player to be eligible for play on this tour, he must be in the year of his 35th birthday or have been retired from the ATP World Tour for two years or more. Each player must have been either a [[List of ATP number 1 ranked singles players|world #1]], a Grand Slam finalist, or a singles player in a winning [[Davis Cup]] team. Each event can also invite two players of its choice to take wild cards.
 
The Tour usually consists of around 10 events around the world, with a year-ending "AEGONMy MastersWorld Champions Tennis" event held at the [[Royal Albert Hall]] in London<ref>{{cite web |title=Official Website |url=https://www.myworldchampionstennis.co.uk/ |website=My World Champions Tennis |accessdate=5 December 2019}}</ref>. Events are typically played over four days with eight-man fields competing against each other in a round-robin format, ensuring that all players feature in at least three matches. The players are split into two groups of four. The top player from each group contests the final, while the two players who finish second in each group play off for third and fourth places respectively.
 
Matches are contested over the best of three sets, with the deciding set taking the form of a Champions tie-break. The Champions tie-break is an expanded version of the conventional professional tennis tie-break, whereby the winner is the first player to reach 10 points and lead by a margin of 2.
