yeh ive never understood that, why couldnt they just have the cut off point after the UK, after all its possible you could have a scenario where someone outwith the top 16 won the UK Championship but didnt make the Masters

WITZ WRONG

yeh i did, im human but once i saw that full list (which i hadnt looked at in months) it made me realise how stupid id thought it was that the Masters cut off didnt just come after the UK

GJtheaussiestud wrote:WITZ WRONG

milk it while yous can, its strictly a one-off

there is a cut off point after the UK but for german and wales.

with the masters they need to get promotion out in time Tickets Hospitality etc need sorting End of UK to start of masters is less than a month.

i guess thats why

all thoes tournaments being added and 2008 UK and Barhain coming off

good so it wont affect matthew being seeded for the uk and masters

the player that gains most during that Period is Selby playing 1 match and winning nothing in UK and Barhain 2008 and the Biggest Loser will be 2008 UK Champ Shaun Murphy.
