Masters Series (Magic: The Gathering)

The Masters Series or simply Masters were single-elimination Magic: The Gathering tournaments open to the most accomplished players only. These tournaments awarded cash prizes upon entrance and were held at several Pro Tours each season. The first predecessor to the Masters Series, named Team Challenge, was held at the 2000 Pro Tour New York. In the following seasons Masters were held at four different Pro Tours each season. The last Masters was held at Pro Tour Yokohama. Ben Rubin was the most successful player at the Masters Series, being the only player to win two events.

After the 2002–03 season the cash that would have gone into the Masters Series prizes was instead used for a final payout at the end of the season based on Pro Points. This payout was in turn replaced by the Pro Player's Club two years later.

ATP World Tour Masters 1000

The ATP World Tour Masters 1000 is a series of nine tennis tournaments that are part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour, held annually throughout the year in Europe, North America and Asia. The series constitutes the most prestigious tournaments in men's tennis after the four Grand Slam events and the ATP World Tour Finals.

Results in ATP Masters 1000 events earn players more world ranking points than regular tournaments, though not as many as Grand Slam events or the year-end ATP World Tour Finals. Up until 2007, most Masters Series finals were contested as best of five-set matches. Currently, all Masters Series events are decided in best of three-set matches.

Rafael Nadal holds the record for the most singles titles with 27 since the Masters series began in 1990. The Bryan Brothers have won a record 35 doubles titles, all as a team. No man has ever won all 9 singles titles in his career, with Novak Djokovic winning 8, and Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal each winning 7 out of 9 titles. However, in doubles, Daniel Nestor and the Bryan Brothers (Bob and Mike) have each won all 9 titles throughout their careers. Novak Djokovic holds the record for 6 singles titles in a year. In doubles, the Bryans have won 6 titles in a single year once (2014) and 5 titles in a single year twice (2007 and 2013).

ATP World Tour 500 series

The ATP World Tour 500 series (previously known as the Grand Prix Super Series,ATP International Series Gold and the Championship Series) is the third highest tier of men's tennis tournament after the four Grand Slam tournaments, and the ATP World Tour Masters 1000.

The series includes 13 tournaments, with 500 rankings points awarded for the events' singles champions – which accounts for the name of the series. Tournaments have various draws of 32, 48 and 56 for singles and 16 and 24 for doubles. It is mandatory for leading players to enter at least four 500 events, including at least one after the US Open; if they play fewer than four, or fail to play in one after the US Open they get a "zero" score towards their world ranking for each one short.

Roger Federer hold the record for most titles apiece, at 17, while Nenad Zimonjic holds the record for most doubles titles won with thirteen. Juan Martin del Potro, Boris Becker, and Stefan Edberg holds the record for most titles won in a calendar year with four.
