Who has been relegated from the main tour?

Postby Raziel

Stephen Hendry, Jimmy White, Ken Doherty and James Wattana have all been given two-year invitational tour cards.

But who has been relegated from the main tour? Does anyone know yet?

All the players who finished out with the top 64 and did not gain a new card via other methods. There's a whole bunch.

Has it been announced that Wattana has a new card?

Stephen Hendry's new 2-year tour card means that there are 129 players on tour. But one of them never turns up, so it's unlikely to be a problem.

It is bad news for Michael White, but he will still probably get invited for almost all of the events.

Keep an eye on Yan Bingtao next season. Definitely one to watch.

Thank you chengdufan, that was exactly what I was looking for. Excellent!

And yes, I read somewhere on the WST website that Stephen Hendry, Jimmy White, Ken Doherty and James Wattana have all been given two-year invitational tour cards.

Yes. Thank you. I have realised that now - finally. lol.

I'm sure I read somewhere, though, that he had a new wildcard. But I must have dreamt it or something. :roll:
