The interesting conundrum is who will accept the other wildcard and qualifying wildcards and who will elect to play Manchester. Freya is almost certain to play Nottingham probably as a QWC
Katie, Katie, Katy and Gaby all played Manchester last year with Naomi, whilst Laura played Nottingham with Tara. I'm pretty sure Beth Grey will play Manchester qualifiers and get a doubles WC. Money v points debate

Eden played Nottingham too, didn't she?
Eden did play Nottingham: QWC, reached FQR

EWS played qualifying in Manchester, lost in FQR, got in as a lucky loser and gave the Kazahk girl a fright.
She's on the list under MD. The tables are for where they ended as their best result - hence Sam Murray at Manchester is in MD as (Q) R32, as she qualified. Emily didn't qualify, so that's why she's R32, not (Q) R32
I do have flags for LL, but didn't seek to be that rigorous about things here - I knew everyone would get included, but their exact full story at the LL/JE/SR level might get excluded. It should probably have said MD DA, MD WC, MD LL as a LL is not a DA, which is what my table implies.
This is just a consequence of the way I chose to build the table - for speed. I could have had both appear in both sections, but did not, and in no way made that clear. Sorry about that.
For the record: Emily played Q at Manchester, reached FQR, lost; got into R32 of MD as a LL; lost.

This is a good question. The answer is becasue I can't write a good formula and am generally incompetent.
Jo's final match at Eastbourne was technically her SF, in which she gave a walkover. My table has a filter for 'valid match'. This is almost exclusively to not count things like Byes as wins in other tables and charts. I have not fully accounted for W/O with regards to 'validity'. Thus, applying the 'valid match' filter has ignored matches where the GB player gave a walkover, as the formula I have gives a Walkover as a 0 - do not include. This is only true where the GB player gives the w/o - if the opponent gives the w/o, the match would be included. Therefore, the row with Jo's SF match is a 'do not include' and as it's her best round in the event, she is excluded altogether.
I didn't even actually need the 'valid match' filter in this particular case becasue of the way the table is built - I just defaulted to it through laziness. Useless.

As per Indy's suggestion on another thread, I have changed the title of this one to cover and focus on the entry list.
As and when someone wants to create a thread when the draw comes out etc, then we can take the 2018 draw discussions from there.
Sorry for causing confusion - I still regard myself a newbie on this forum and haven't really delved into creating threads around tournaments before - I realise it is more difficult than I imagined! Oh well, gave it a go, practice makes perfect so will hopefully be a bit more efficient next time around!!

I see Stosur has got a WC for this. They can give a WC to top 20 players, but I assume that's current and not former? Be a bit disappointing if this isn't mandatory and could have been given to a Brit or even a younger, exciting overseas player. Seems a bit of a waste - I know she is a former grand slam winner, but she is 34, done little for years, actually has a losing record at Wimbledon and has never even been into the 2nd week - so its not exactly going to see ticket sales go through the roof.
Hope this isn't a sign of things to come over the summer.
