He withdrew from GM so should get zero for that. Also, Robin Hull should have 12905 points. He withdrew from GM so should get zero for that.

Should be 15965 if my math is okay. That would also fit his position in your rankings which I think is correct. Great work all the same! Dave Grace’s total isn’t right, I think.

One interesting observation prior to the WC draw, assuming I understand the 2012/2013 qualification rules correctly: The PTC order of merit is already set, but which 8 will qualify for the 12/13 tour will still depend on which players do not make it onto the tour among the top 64. As it stands Li Yan in 43rd on the PTCOoM is the first of these 8, and Maflin (60) and Grace (63) the two last. However looking at the projected seeding, on the least secure places we find #63 David Gilbert and #64 Yu Delu, both of which is above the bunch on the PTCOoM, in 43rd (tied) and 34th respectively. Meaning that if they drop off the top 64 they will qualify anyhow through the PTC, and thereby pushing Grace and Maflin out. Fortunately, for the China Open draw, Gilbert and Yu Delu is in different quarters from Maflin and Grace, but if the WC draw schedules them to meet, we might get the abomination that the only way for Maflin or Grace to stay on the tour is to lose to Gilbert or Delu to ensure that they keep their top 64 spot...

Björn Haneveer has 14665 points - he should just have 1080 points for this season (I think you've given him 280 from the Shanghai Masters even though he withdrew) I’ve spotted a couple of mistakes, if you don’t mind me correcting you (I assume they are mistakes as your points differ from those published today on the World Snooker website: http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/fb/9d/0,,13165~171515,00.pdf , although given how poor the rankings information on there as been at times over the last couple of years, you might be right!)

The Crucible seedings are the post-Welsh ones though, Judd and Ronnie in opposite halves that won't change now. Cheers, fixed.

I see the new rankings for the WC have Trump v O'Sullivan in the last 16. It will be good to seem them play best of 25. Just a note - your latest provisional list still mentions tournaments as GM and WO instead of moving on to WO, PTC, CO and WC. Thanks for all your hard work Matt.
