Because the Monte Carlo Masters is the non-mandatory Masters 1000 event, special rules regarding points distribution are in place. The Monte Carlo Masters counts as one of a player's 500 level tournaments, while distributing Masters 1000 points.[http://www.atpworldtour.com/Rankings/Rankings-FAQ.aspx#requirements Ranking points]
