Week 47: 2015 Challenger Tour Finals
Location: São Paulo, Brazil
Prize Money: $220K
Surface: Indoor Clay
Balls:
Site: Esporte Clube Pinheiros, Rua Angelina Maffei Vita, 493, Jardim Europa, São Paulo
Starting Date: November 23
2014 Champion: Diego Schwartzman (Argentina)
Format: The ATP Challenger Tour Finals is a tennis tournament played at the end of each year, involving the top seven players in that year's ATP Challenger Tour, plus an invited player from the tournament's host country.
Like the ATP World Tour Finals, the ATP Challenger Tour Finals is not a straightforward knock-out tournament. Eight players are divided into two groups of four, and play three round-robin matches each against the other three players in their group. From there, the two players with the best records in each group progress to the semifinals, with the winners meeting in the final to determine the champion.

A few days ago the preliminary information about the 2015 Challenger Tour Finals was finally added to the calendar Challenger Tour | Calendar | ATP World Tour | Tennis
I guess it's time to start discussing who is going to enter or even if the players are indeed interested to enter.
YTD Challenger Ranking is also recently available (this year on Twitter )
(composed by Josh Meiseles, ATP Staff, as previous years)
Josh has promised to tweet the updated standings out each Monday until it's up (see his account https://twitter.com/jmeistennis )
IMO there isn't much evidence that the ranking leader Hyeon Chung will enter. Let's discuss.
