It really is that simple. the person doing the list on WS dosent understand what a provisional list is. global snooker are blindly following WS and pro snooker have the correct list. WS will cop this error after a few days and GS will too im sure.<br />In the meantime seedings will be taken from the old 2 year list after this years world champs. after the world open the current provisional rankings become the official rankings for the next batch of tournaments,so pro snookers list is a snapshot of these rankings at the current time and will be used as seedings from oct.WS and GS lists will never have any relevance and should be ignored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-55810348900938472222010-07-01T19:06:30.309+01:002010-07-01T19:06:30.309+01:00chris

Sure they arent getting 08/09 points deducted from their tally as they dont have any in their totals ans whilst as the others above them do, the gap will close, it does mean that they will be stuck in the first ring of qualifying all season long, so its just similar to the old system where it will be hard for tour newcomers to quickly move up the rankings.<br /><br />Further up it isnt a problem because all of these established guys are on a level playing field to an extent so the form players will reap the rewards instantly and vice versa the off form players.<br /><br />With no safety net of the one year top 8 list for those outwith the top 64, i fear come the end of this season yet again the "mediocrity" will be rewardedWitz78noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-65532434032836278652010-07-01T17:13:52.489+01:002010-07-01T17:13:52.489+01:00i think this is spot on how they work out starter ...i think this is spot on how they work out starter points.<br /><br />they should have a fair playing field but also have to work to clime the rankings.<br /><br />world snooker has pitches starter points perfectlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-36002812327170398242010-07-01T16:31:19.191+01:002010-07-01T16:31:19.191+01:002:20 PM

The seedings up until October will use the rankings as updated after the WC (i.e. what they call the official rankings on the World Snooker site). They stipulate that the seedings will be updated in October by adding on the points accumulated up to that point and dropping the points from the NIT, Shanghai and Grand Prix. So it's crystal clear how the seedings will work, and this list called "Latest rankings" doesn't decide the seedings.<br /><br />Presumably the list called "official rankings" (which is incidentally the list that is currently being used for seedings up until October) is indeed the official rankings, which leaves us all wondeirng what purpose the "Latest rankings" serve?<br /><br />They are not official rankings (because there is another list called that), they are not used for seedings according to World Snooker, and as they stand they are not provisional rankings either because they haven't dropped the points that need to come off.<br /><br />If they are official rankings then why is there another list called "official rankings"? If they are going to be used for seedings then what is all this stuff about "cut-off points" to update the seedings? And if they are provisional rankings then why haven't they dropped the points?Betty Logannoreply@blogger.com
