Cheers Seagull. That does seem pretty harsh - it's not going to do a lot to Dan's ranking then, is it? The whole system seems designed to keep the top players at the top and reduce the 'churn' of lower players...not very 'democratic'.

It is true, and the polar opposite of the women's game which over rewards early wins in GS/premier.

On the positive side, the Q1 win is worth quite a lot of dosh, which is important in player travel/development/making ends meet.
