Why give Evans a wild card? She patently isn't good enough. Wattana is a former world number 3 who did wonders for snooker in the Far east.

I vaguely remember hearing about it being something to do with lifetime earnings, which is why Wattana was chosen.

Yes, really glad Wattana is getting given a tour card, he totally deserves it for services to snooker.

I know, I meant that.
Anyway, it is like a card to play on the tour. As far as I'm concerned they have a tour card.
