Well it is double jeopardy for lower ranked players as they have no means to access the money


They had access to the money at the start of the season.

Yeah, I agree with you, but it's the same for every player, so I don't have a problem with it being ranking.

Their fault for not getting into the Top 32 on the 1 year list.

I say the 32 that are here fully deserve to get ranking money.

Except for shootout.

Any tournament that isn't open to every player shouldn't be ranking, in my opinion.

I don't care all that much in this tournament's case though. Rather this be ranking than the Shootout.

It is open to all players. Tell me who's been barred from it?

If somebody isn't in this tournament it's because they haven't been good enough and have failed to meet the qualification criteria.

I say this is open to all the players since all the 128 have a chance of being here provided they do well.

Same for the Players Champs with 16. The Shoot-Out ios the only tournament that should not be a ranker

My thoughts exactly Cloud. It open to all of them.

You both make a good point.

But The Masters is also open to any player that meets the criteria.

Perhaps I should have said "any tournament in which the full field isn't involved."

Hi, mate. Hope you're well.

For future reference, which Russian betting site do you use?

The Masters has never been a ranker since 1975, so no reason to make it one now.

This and the players champs are different. Nobody barred from entering this, they just werent good enough.

And the best example is this one:

Defending champion and top player Barry Hawkins isnt on the top 32, therefore not elegible to enter this.

I see what you're saying and you have a point. Personally, I'm glad we get the odd tournament that bucks the 128 draw norm.

Illogical Andre.

It is inconsistent that the Masters is non-ranking and this is ranking.

You are a skilled orator but cannot make a case here

Well quite and in the past the Masters had wild cards (Jimmy being a memorable one.)
