World Snooker Rankings 2012/13: Seedings Revision Three Round-Up

Little over a month since the season’s previous seedings revision, the UK Championship marks the third cut-off of the season, as Mark Selby replaces Judd Trump at the head of the rankings, while there have been various other changes up and down the list.

This seeding list will now be used for all of the remaining tournaments this season, with the exception of the 2013 World Championship.

As ever, I have also now produced the new projected seedings list, which will eventually determine the seedings for the Crucible. You may notice that the table is a slightly different format this time, as you can now highlight particular rows by hovering your cursor on the table, whilst you can now sort the players by different columns.

Unfortunately the sorting appears to have a mind of its own in places, but I will see what I can do about that!

A final point to note is that at this stage I have not yet added minimum points earned for the PTC Finals and will do so once the 32 players involved have been confirmed, following the Munich Open.

Davis Denies Higgins, Robertson Victorious

A dramatic evening at the UK Championship tonight as three-time former champion John Higgins was sent home from the tournament by Mark Davis, despite making his second maximum break of the season during the eighth frame of the match.

Elsewhere, Neil Robertson won a difficult match against Barry Hawkins, following which both players explained that the conditions were far from ideal, while earlier in the day both Mark Selby and surprise package Luca Brecel also booked their places in the quarter-finals.

Again, due to time constraints, please find below extracts from the press conferences of the four players involved this evening…

Closing In On The Cut: November 2012 (Updated)

Following my previous look at the rankings ahead of the upcoming second cut-off point, World Snooker have now issued a revised schedule of when points from the 2010/11 season will be deducted.

In particular, it has now been stated that points from the 2010 EPTC3 and EPTC4 events will now not be deducted before the cut-off, which has resulted in some important changes to how the projected seedings are shaping up.
