6 for the Winner
5 for the Runner up
4 for 3rd-4th
3 for 5th-8th
2 for 9th-16th
1 for 17th-32nd
1 merit point for 33rd-64th
UK Championship + World Qualifers
8 for the Winner
6 for the Runner up
4 for 3rd-4th
3 for 5th-8th
2 for 9th-16th

1 merit point for 33rd-64th
World Championship
10 for the Winner
8 for the Runner up
6 for 3rd-4th
4 for 5th-8th
2 for 9th-16th

1 merit point for 33rd-64th
In the case of ties, the following breaks will be used (in order):
Merit points
Best outright finish
Best matchplay finish
World Championsip outright result
The rankings will be used to seed posters during matchplay prediction comps. However, not all seedings will be based on rankings.
Number one seed will be the outright winner of the same comp last year (for example, whether number one or not, Sonny will be the top seed for the 2011 Masters).
Number two seed will be the outright World Championship winner.
Number three seed will be the matchplay winner of the previous year's comp.
Number four seed onwards shall be based upon the rankings.
The following seeding system will operate
A minimum of two players shall be seeded in a tournament. - this is subject to at least 4 entries.
Should 8 players enter a tournament then 4 players shall be seeded.
Should 16 players enter a tournament then 8 players shall be seeded
Should 32 or more enter a tournament then 16 players shall be seeded.
