I did not know that. But, even so, what this tournament does is allow those qualifiers to pull further ahead on ranking points without giving any of the non-qualifiers an equal chance to catch up. I wouldn't stand for any of that nonsense on my pro tiddlywinks tour. <laugh>


that's true at the last eight stage of any tournament. anyone still standing can add to their tally by winning more matches.

the ranking system as it stands is not terribly rational. but having ranking points for the duelbits series does still fit with its logic.

I do see what you mean. :-)

You're quite right of course. It's a rubbish system, and giving 'ranking points' for this series is a fudge to cope with that system - they just keep twisting it. Part of the idea was to try and keep the likes of Co92 at the top of the rankings for as long as possible (by guaranteeing them 2 years' worth of extra points), because of their popularity. They couldn't envisage what happened this year.
