Iranu is the warmest so far. If he's saying what I think he's saying.
If he wrote out his workings for this reply that would probably help others.

So what I’m saying is Ronnie is the player born latest in 1975. So to amend slightly:
my guess is that each player you listed is the top 16 player born the latest in their respective year of birth from 1970-79?

Well I'm going to give you half the victory at this stage as you are the first person to realise that each player represents one year from 1970-1979.
But the reasoning of why each player was chosen for their year? Nope, it's nothing to do with any of them being younger or older than each other within their respective years.

Maybe the most successful player born in each year of the 70s?

The original idea of the quiz, I thought, was no googling, testing our knowledge of the game, strange archaic facts and fun.
Not torturous sequences involving detailed internet research yawwwwwwn and two day long questions.
Just my opinion. Bah humbug.

Highest end of season ranking for each year of birth. Where players have the same highest, it defaults to the number of seasons at that rank.
Next on the list would be Ryan Day

Yes! (although chen describes it in it's most exact form)
Iranu can have the victory, chen gets bragging rights for both the detail and having a stab at the next player in the sequence and why.
Simples.

Nah, you're just getting grumpy because you haven't got a question right since Oct 28th.
Looking back there, there was a question which went over into the next day and you said, and I quote "fantastic question".

Correct.
World Championship
Welsh Open
Grand Prix
Scottish Open
Northern Ireland Trophy
UK Championship
Paul Hunter Classic
China Open
English Open
I also would have accepted 11 (LG Cup and World Open) but they were essentially a renamed Grand Prix so I’ve conflated them.

I know that Alex meant 4 which is the correct answer.
Some people may deem it as controversial :O
