high break and 147 prizes wont count towards your total when a proper order of merit that comes into play

Carter 7th give me a bucking break
his list is flawed though and is weighted towards the top guys
because in a real ORDER OF MERIT these figures would be totally different
take Carter for example, all the round 1 games he lost, well under a flat 128 set up and money list, he wouldnt earn any moeny for them so hed be a good bit further down, though obviously a World runner up does you a WORLD of good, pardon the pun.

yes thats a good point but its to top heavy that it rewards fluking a good win.
Peter Ebdon has been marmite with a capital S this season but one good result = a good season with Money Rankings suerly with a season of 13 PTC and about 12 Main Rankers next season having one good run does not equate to a high ranking possition.
Currently despite being China Open Champion Ebdon is 33rd on the one year list because hes been absalutly pants and one Good Result should never be regarded as a Season Turnaround if results elsewhere been marmite.

The reason the conversion rate is there is because events played in Europe are actually paid in euros.

Because if 1 GBP = 1.2 Euro, then conversely, 1 Euro = 5/6ths of £1. Euros will be neater, for example:
Losing quarter finalists at EPTCs get 2000 Euros; if published in GBP, it would be £1666.67.
Whereas losing quarter finalists in the PTCs get £1500; if published in Euros, it'd be 1800....nice and neat.
I could be completely wrong of course....second guessing World Snooker occupies a lot of peoples time these days. Plus, there'll still be a messy conversion from $AUS anyway.

Is this true, Wild? Where did you hear this? If this is the case, then it would simplify things big time. It would also make the Goldfields fairly big in ranking terms (70K to the winner)

im looking at the PTC Rankings of the last 2 years
Euro PTC Getting €10,000
UK PTC Getting £10,000
Actual Money £18,000 or €22,000 but point wise it was 20,000 points

Yeah that's true, and it would make sense to continue that way. However, in the June edition of "Snooker Scene", it states:
"A new ranking system based on prize money rather than ranking points is to be phased in over the next two years. In that period, it will run parallel to the existing system. For the purposes of the new system, £1 will be worth €1.2...."

does that mean if you go to an event where theres hyperinflation and win a million rupees or something thats only the equivalent of a grand here in pounds, that you will get a million points??
of course it will all be converted to pounds

Was the PTC Converted in to pounds ??
Part of the Idea is to make it easier for Everyone to Follow Converting just complicates the Issue.

stick your money on the table then.
if im right you give me 100 pounds
if your right ill give you 100 euros
The PTC different kettle of fish but in future once it moves to proper Order of Merit theyll convert the prize money there to Pounds beforehand for simplicity.
After all the Chinese events, the prize money is in pounds Sterlin as opposed to Chinese Renminbi.
I reckon the European events are only in Euros at the moment to fool fans and players into thinking prize money is better than what it actually is.
