Race to the 2015 World Grand Prix
The 2015 World Grand Prix will be televised by ITV4 between 16-22 March 2015 and see 32 players compete for a top prize of £100,000 at a venue yet to be confirmed.
The qualification criteria for the event will see the top 32 players on a one-year ranking list, invited to the event. The first counting event will be the 2014 World Championship, running through until approximately the 2015 Gdynia Open.
Prize money earned from invitational events such as the Champion of Champions and Masters will not count.
The provisional money list is set out using British Pounds Sterling (£) and those events which are paid in overseas currency are converted into Sterling. For the 2014/2015 season events, Euros will be converted at standard rate of €1.20 for £1 (to be confirmed) and Australian Dollars will be converted at a standard rate to be confirmed.
The events are: the 2014/15 PTC series (including ET & AT events), 2014 World Championship (WC14), 2014 Wuxi Classic (WC), 2014 Australian Goldfields Open (AUS), 2014 Shanghai Masters (SM), 2014 International Championship (IC), 2014 UK Championship (UK), 2015 German Masters (GM), 2015 Welsh Open (WO) and 2014 Indian Open (IO).
Note that I will include the minimum amounts of prize money that the players will earn for each of the events when confirmed.
While a player remains in a tournament their points tally will be displayed in green. Once a player is out of a tournament, their points for that event will be displayed in red to reflect that they cannot increase that total. Should a player win a tournament, their points tally will be displayed in blue.
Thanks to @joanneballantyn for her continued work in creating and updating this list.
