Group Allocations
Groups are a combination of randomness and structure, are are very similar to the intial setup.
All registered players are ordered according to their provisional ranking. They are then separated into tiers according to how many groups are created. These tiers are then randomised and allocated to each group
An Example...
Assuming there are 3 groups, the top 3 ranked players would all be in different groups. On current rankings, this would be Dott, Bieniek and Lakowim.
Then, the next 3 players on the ranked list are allocated at random, one to each group.
This continues until all players have been allocated.
Knockout Allocation
When the knockout rounds are created, half of the qualifiers will be 'seeded'. These will be the best performing group players (matches won, +/- frames).
The seeds will avoid playing each other in the first knockout round, and will play another qualifier.
The Seed vs. Qualifiers are selected completely at random, as are the order of the matches. After the first match has been set, the knockout stage progresses as normal.
Ranking Points
Ranking points are allocated as follows;
Knockout Finishes
Group Finishes
High Breaks
* All points are muliplied by the tournament multiplier except for 147+. Points for highest break or 147+ are divided equally for each break scored.
