So going back to Telstars earlier list, with no Freya or Emily Arb involved next week, we know a lot more now:

Broady (q) 33
Appleton (q)28
Grey (q) 27,
Maloney (q)26
Christie 25
Rawson 22
Burrage (q) 12,
Silva (q) 12
Kartal (q) 12

So 7 should be confirmed. Most of the realistic Week 5 contenders have already booked their place, so a very good chance that that could be the final 9 before WCs, but if Lissy, or Holly at a push, won the title then they would qualify, and it would be down to Freya and Nadia for the 9th spot - Nadia would need to finish at least 9th place to get the additional 4 points to pip Freya, so she is pretty likely to qualify, although with 6 of the above 9 involved, there's a strong chance one of them will win, and both Freya and Nadia will get in regardless.

A lot of players obviously keen to ensure they secure their Classic week place, but will be playing a lot of matches in quick succession.

Danielle did retire in her match today.

I'd be happy with those 9 in the Classic, and then the 3 WCs how they saw fit. Emily Arb could jump ahead Eliz, Freya, and Nadia if she plays Week 5 and gets the right amount of points, or if she wins it of course, and whoever wins will obviously be guaranteed their place (if thye have not already done so), but it could only be Emily Arb and one other. Beth does have a (q) from the official tournament, as was mentioned on the other thread, but we'll have to see who is playing W5 to determine who else is already through from the other high scorers.

Quite a good mix of youth, and more established name power as it stands, and all of them would bring something to the table. Nadia possibly the current weakest on paper of the 9, but she's had some great wins, and to get 22 points from 3 events (6, 7, and 9), shows good consistency, and that she's improved as the weeks have went by.

 I would say that Emily App and Beth have now qualified. They could be overtaken by Eliz and Nadia and a new event winner ( eg Barnett) but no others. Beth and Naomi must be extremely fit- will be on 40 plus consecutive days by the end of the Masters!

Yep, Eliz also guaranteed now I think, with Freya in most danger of missing out should Barnett (or someone more unlikely) take the title. Yeah, very fit indeed - before I knew the 60 match schedule, I was more expecting Beth and Naomi just to make the odd doubles appearance this week, but going by your BotB results round up, they've both been among the most active, so it's a hell of a schedule for them. 

In hindsight, now I know the W5 line up, and particularly that Freya and Emily Arb aren't involved, (as a fan) I kind of wish Eliz and Emily Ap had taken the day off, as they'll both be looking at 21 SGH matches in a row by the time the Classic is done, and there'll also be less 40 min routine matches in the Classic, so the bulk of the final field could be on their last legs come next Sunday, ha, but then again, bar the odd Tier 1 BT event, I guess those ranked 500-1000 won't really know when they'll next play at this stage, so they'll probably want to get as many matches (and money) while they can, but I take my hat off to them all for their sheer activity, and they'll need to have a good couple of weeks off after.
