It is merely a list of points accrued since the start of the season, and yes Mark King and Barry Pinches top the list because they have earned more points than anybody else this season.<br /><br />Are 110 saying that tournament performances should be ignored because Hendry was a great player 15 years ago?<br /><br />The one year list he refers to is totally irrelevant anyway. Its a fun list put up by Matt on pro snooker and does not include the huge shoal of points that the top 16 are guaranteed for the rest of the seasons' tournaments just for turning up. If those points were included, the list wouldn't change much from last season, or the season before, now that I think of it.<br /><br />Another lie perpetuated by 110 is Mark Allens' prize money.

He had Ebdon beaten in their 2002 semi, and he's always had a good record against Hendry - that final would have come between him thrashing Hendry at The Crucible in 2001 and beating him in the UK final in 2003. After the death of his father in 2001 which took the wind out of his sails for a couple of seasons, he seemed to be back on track when he won the UK. The following season he should have sealed the deal at The Crucible, but at the time looked like he would be a serious challenger for the rest of the decade.Betty Logannoreply@blogger.com
