Points to Defend, 2011/12 Revision Two:
As was the case in 2010/11, during the 2011/12 season there will be a two-year rolling ranking system in place which means that tournament seedings will now be adjusted mid-season. The second revision takes place following the PTC12 event on the 8th January 2012.
To illustrate which players have the most to lose at the second revision (eg who performed well at the 2009 UK Championship), here is a table showing who has what to defend:
