They shouldn't have dropped it.
PTCs or minor ranking events as they were called are not proper ranking events.
So Tom Ford still has ZERO in my eyes.
theres minor ranking events like Gibraltar Open, Paul Hunter Classic etc then theres Scraping the rubbish off the bottom of your shoe Ranking event like rubbish out

Do we get Ranking Points for putting the rubbish out?
Why aren’t I on the Ranking List then?

ranking events should ALWAYS have a multi-session final
END OFF
rest of the stuff should be called minor-ranking events which of course give you ranking points but they'd be called minor-ranking events
how can you have Champion of Champions or the Shanghai Masters as invitational but shoot-out as a ranking event? how does that make sense?

Ranking doesn't necessarily mean more important. Just means it gives ranking points. So as long as all the tour have the same chance to enter it gets to be ranking.

why can't the snooker tour make things simple like the ATP Tour?
Grand Slams
Master 1000s
ATP 500
ATP 250
all offer ranking points but each one more important than the other
snooker really should have a series like that

they did under the previous points system 10000 8000 7000 5000 and the ptc's at 3000 and 2000 to the winners.
