I'm not sure I explained it very well.
Simplest way is. If you gain points this week, you get to keep those points and drop the worst tournament off your list. Unless it is the exact same tournament (or another tournament the same week) then the previous year drops off.
Federer didn't play this week last year so he had nothing to defend. He gets 300 points and gets to drop any one of his '0 pointers'. Djokovic had to defend 500 points, which he did.
