Postby Wildey

The up coming Season will consist of 133 Pros

Tour Qualifying Criteria 2013/2014 http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles ... 291,00.pdf

During the season there will be 6 Seeding Cut off points

2nd September 23 after Shanghai Masters
3rd November 4th after International Championship
4th December 9th after UK Championship
5th February 3rd after German Masters
6th March 24th after PTC Grand Finals

This list shows which points will be coming off and Going on during each cut off point http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles ... 292,00.pdf

During 2013/2014 season Ranking will be based on Points here is the Point schedule for the up coming season http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles ... 293,00.pdf

But also During the season they will run a Ranking system based on Money earned but that list will not be used for Seeding until 2014/2015 season. Players will earn their Tour card for 2014/2015 season with Points and not the money list then the change will come in.

Trying to get onto the World Snooker website to get more info about this - their website is unusable! It crashes my computer constantly and when it does work, its extremely sluggish and works poorly.

Is it just me having problems?

This is going to cause a hell of a lot of problems. Originally all Top 96 players were due to retain their tour card for next season. Now, that's not going to be the case - only the Top 64 players with a 1-year tour card will remain on tour. This means that the following players are now no longer tour professionals...

Adam Duffy, James Wattana, Barry Pinches, Mike Dunn and Andy Hicks.

Have any of them entered Q School?

Adam Duffy is Ranked 60, James Wattana 61, Barry Pinches 62 and Mike Dunn 63 Last time i was in school those position's were inside the top 64.

only Andy Hicks loses his tour Card this season because he is outside the top 64 as a player on a 1 year Tour Card.

whys the last seeding cut off before the Worlds not after the China Open ??

thats just giving everyone an excuse to skip it, since its relevance to the World seedings isnt relevant now.

All the big guns have no excuse to go now then complain of burn out i guess

13 main ranking events and a grand total of 25 ranking events this season then - a good balance but a lot of travelling! Prize money will be around £8.25m this season.
