Points to Defend, 2012/13 Revision Two:
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 second revision takes place on the 5 November 2012 following the International Championship.
To illustrate which players have the most to lose at the second revision (eg who performed well at the PTC3, PTC4, EPTC1, Shanghai Masters, World Open, EPTC2, PTC5 and PTC6 events of 2010), here is a table showing who has what to defend:
