Points to Defend, 2012/13 Revision One:
During the 2012/13 season there will be a two-year rolling ranking system in place which means that tournament seedings will now be adjusted mid-season. The first revision takes place on the 12 August 2012 following the UK PTC2.
To illustrate which players have the most to lose at the first revision (eg who performed well at the first two PTC events of 2010), here is a table showing who has what to defend:
