Under the current system it will be harder to break into the top 16 and will create protectionism for the top 16 players which is counter productive to what hearn has tried to achieve since he as come to power. Currently the ranking system can be made simpler with lesser points like tennis given for e.g 250 points given for winning a minor tournament and 2000 for a major.<br /><br /><br />Money list works in golf because players dont play directly against each other it is more like playing to get your personal best score. Thus higher ranked players are not protected as much as snooker by starting 5 rounds after lets say a player ranked 90thAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-84943619997046564272012-09-01T19:27:19.008+01:002012-09-01T19:27:19.008+01:00The last match Ronnie played was the world final w...The last match Ronnie played was the world final which he won and some idiot says he is a has been.
