Many open tournaments weren't rankers in the 80s, especially in the earlier part of the decade.
Thanks
I was just guessing based on the results each player had on cuetracker. I don't know what points they used in the 80's and 90's but Davis was well ahead of everyone else from 83-90 so he would have been safe. The early 90's is harder to tell.

At least he's got his breakaway tour to fall back on, if he doesn't get enough ranking points.

Fergal could be gone at the end of the season. In fact a few old timers might slip off the tour this year.

Fergal will be fine as he will be top 8 on one year list if he drops out the 64

Perhap's Fergal could improve his form by working with Dr Steve Peters on his 'Gimp Management' techniques.

I think that Hamilton is OK with his top 64 status after India's run. He would be safe through the 1-year list anyway, but it's good for him that he will keep the good ranking money/points he has earned this season.
Jamie Jones needs a miracle to save his place after his 1 year ban.

Yeah Jones is gone off the tour it seems. You get 10,000 or something for winning one round at the WC. Hamilton not secure yet either but in a better position. He only needs to beat an amateur to gain enough points at the Gibraltar Open to leap over Liam Highfield.

Now that Selbo has failed miserably in yet another event, does that mean he'll loose the no.1 spot at the end of this event ?

No. There are not enough points available at the PC for Williams to catch him.

I was thinking more in terms of ROS surpassing him than Willo.
And aren't points suppose to be deducted from Selbo ?

Selby lost in the 2nd round in 2017 so not many points to come off.

O'Sullivan is further behind than Williams.
Selby only got to the second round of the PC two years ago. So won't lose many points here
Looking at the dates though, the next seeding revision won't be until after the China Open. Which Selby won in 2017 so he'll lose a chunk of points for that. But Williams was runner up so is also defending a fair amount.
After that he loses the world championships from 17. So that's the most likely time for it to happen. Assuming he doesn't win the TV or CO of course.

It still seems odd to me that Mark Selby is WN1.
He's not done anything for what seems like forever.

He had a huge lead in the rankings at one point, with roughly twice as many points as the person behind him. Plus, his wins in China are always worth lots of RANKING POINTS!...

Also of his two chief rivals; one skips half the tournaments anyway, and the other has been on a massive piss-up for the last six months or so.

I don't understand comments like this to be honest.
2017 China Open
2017 World Championship
2017 International Championship
2018 China Open
2018 China Championship
Why would it be odd that someone who's won five big-money ranking events in the last two years is WN1?

It's the fact that he's done so little apart from those wins.
Add to that the fact that 4 of those 5 are in China and easily missed because of timezones and it creates a perception that he's had a rough couple of years since winning his last WC (which he has in terms of consistency and some awful losses).
With Ronnie and MJw also winning 5+ rankers each over the last couple of years in tournaments with higher visbility for the UK majority on here, you can see why people might think it's odd that Selby's WN1.
But obviously he's there for a good reason.

I suppose one would just expect people on a snooker-related forum to follow all tournaments, not just UK ones. Everything on TV can be recorded, so the timezone thing is a non-issue for fans. Not watching tournaments because they're on at different times just seems really weird to me.
This kind of confusion over how the rankings work and who's won what etc. is something I'd expect to see on Twitter.

Apart from the fact that Williams hasn't won 5+ rankers in the last few years and O'Sullivan's tally of titles isn't exactly comparable without the World title, I don't think Iranu's post was that clueless. He just explained the "confusion" from the point of view of the most casual fans.
