It does not feel like it has been that long since the season’s first seedings revision back in August, but with just two events (one for those unable to qualify for the International Championship), ahead of the crucial second cut-off, click below for my thoughts on the race for places at the Masters, UK Championship, German Masters and Shoot Out.

Note that a further update will be posted after the ET3 event, when the situation will become clearer…

EDIT (12/10/12): PLEASE NOTE THAT WORLD SNOOKER HAVE TODAY ISSUED A REVISED SCHEDULE OF WHEN POINTS FROM 2010/11 WILL BE REMOVED, MEANING THAT THIS ARTICLE IS NO LONGER ACCURATE. A REVISED POST WILL FOLLOW.

As discussed during this previous post, the mystery surrounding which points will be deducted at the second mid-season seedings revision of the season in November has so far prevented me from posting the latest projected seedings list, but having now received confirmation from World Snooker as to how they are going to work it, the wait is over.

Latest Projected Seedings – Where Are They?

As regular readers will know, normally by now after a seedings revision I like to have the latest projected seedings list live and right up to date, but following Monday’s revision I have decided to hold off due to the lack of official clarification as to which points will be removed at the season’s crucial second cut-off, which will decide amongst other things, who will be part of the Masters.

Rankings Update: Points To Be Removed at Cut One Confirmed

An important line of news to bring you from the South West Snooker Academy today concerning the points to be removed at the first seedings revision. As regular readers will know, I have been keen to learn exactly which points will be removed at the season’s first seedings revision on 12th August 2012, but until now I have been unable to receive confirmation of this from World Snooker.

Yesterday however, I asked Mike Ganley who kindly said that he would look into it, and today he explained that all of the points that will be coming off at the first seedings revision, have already been removed. In other words, the points from PTC1 and PTC2 back in 2010 which were removed after the Wuxi Classic, will be no longer count towards the next seedings list.

Importantly, this differs from what I had taken into account on my latest projected seedings list, as I had also removed the points for PTC3 which took place between 6-8 August 2012, on the basis that by the time the first cut-off comes around, they will be more than two years old.

For whatever reason however, those points will continue to count at this cut-off and I have therefore added the points from that event back onto my totals.
