- 6 current pros have dropped 10 spots or more since the start of the season: Martin Gould; Sam Craigie; Mark King; Jamie O'Neill; Bai Langning; Zak Surety

Fascinating to compare the rankings on this thread with the official ones.

Three top 16 changes - Ding, Walden and Gilbert replacing Bingham, Murphy and Day. Wonder what the consensus is as to which is more valid. Perhaps depends what weight you choose to give to certain performances and what period of time you take into account. For example note that Bingham and Murphy had better seasons 20-21, Walden and Gilbert 21-22.

However further down there are serious anomalies in which it appears to me that your rankings, Chengdufan, are clearly more accurate. A couple of blatant examples Yuan Sijun 35 v 60 and Michael White 43 v 84.

Also notable that you have as many as 20 amateurs in your top 128. I think this tends to support my view that the criteria used by WST/WPBSA for permitting a player to retain their tour card aren't in best possible shape.

Wonderful thread. Long may it continue.

I see you are keeping retired players in the list?

I am. You never know when someone will change their mind about retirement.
Keeping them in also adds to the validity of the data.
