Points to Defend, 2013/14 Revision Seven:
During the 2013/14 season there will be a two-year rolling ranking system in place which means that tournament seedings will now be adjusted mid-season. The sixth revision takes place on the 5th May 2014 following the 2014 World Championship.
To illustrate which players have the most to lose at the sixth revision (eg who performed well at the China Open and World Championship of 2011/12), here is a table showing who has what to defend:
