Points to be dropped, 2010/11 Revision One:
From the start of the 2010/11 season there will now be a two-year rolling ranking system and so the rankings will now be adjusted mid-season, beginning with revision one following the second European Players Tour Championship event of the season which will be completed on the 3rd October 2010.
At that initial update, points earned from the 2008 Northern Ireland Trophy, Shanghai Masters and Grand Prix tournaments will be replaced by points from tournaments early in the 2010/11 season and to illustrate which players have the most to lose (eg who started 2008/9 strongly), here is a table showing who has what to defend:

What about the new entries on the main tour?
Your very provisional ranking shows no points for them out of the 2008/2009 season.
But global-snooker adds 5850 points for the season. so how many points will they be reduced???
Thanks for any reply

As far as I know they are not given any points for 2008/9 but in return do not lose any points as the season goes on. Not sure why Global have given them 5850 unless there has been a change that I am not aware of. Over at the WSA website they haven’t been given anything for 2008/9 yet:

Hi, it’s me once again…
According to the german eurosport-website (august, 23rd of august) the WSA announced a new handling to the starter ponits for those having joint the main tour in the 2009-2010 season. the 5850 starter point will be divided through the number of tournaments played in 2008-09, so the players (e.g. Tony Drgao) will get 731 points for each tournament. Therefore on cut-off 1 they will lose 2193 points each. It is not decided yet which two tournaments will be worth 732 points as there are two points missing.
