A bit tough on those who were injured.  As an example, Mason Recci won only one match has now has 5 points. Luke Johnson won 2 matches but has zero.

Edit

CD beat me by a few seconds, to say much the same.

 Does seem unfair I agree. clearly just gone on final positions. You could get a place As a replacement directly into the final and pick up 18 points with a final walkover. Or so it seems?

---

 No, can't be final positions - as said, Andy Watson is there even though he withdrew

---

  but Watson was officially placed 6th in his group with a zero to five record and thus came 11th or 12th , and was placed 12th?

The difference may be that Andrew Watson finished his Round Robin matches and therefore had a position in the table before pulling out in the play-off stages whereas Luke only played 2 complete matches before withdrawing.

 OK...... I'm with you......

But Tom Hands' points then don't go to anyone? 

Tom played on Sunday and won - who gets his position points? 

---

You got me. I have no idea. It does seem a tad confusing and certainly a little unfair.  RR points should be given for matches won and not for final position.

The women's was a lot easier, nobody withdrew, and they all played seven matches

I think I have seen this mentioned somewhere on the board but can't remember which thread, also thought it deserved it's own thread.
Anyway UK Pro series should be back this year. However spread over the year. With 8 weeks and then the classic finals week. Website says total prize money of over $500k.
Points system looks the same.

Week 1 15th-21st February
Week 2 1st-7th March
Week 3 15th-21st March
Week 4 5th-11th April
Week 5 19th- 25th April
Week 6 12th-18th July
Week 7 4th-10th October
Week 8 18th-24th October
Week 9 1st-7th November (Classic Week)

Will be interesting to see what sort of entry it pulls considering it will be competing with the tour, guaranteed matches and income against ranking points. Also wonder what the base appearance fee will be this time, think it was $1000 in 2020.

 welcome news and particularly in that autumn spell as the season closes. 

i notice they have stopped using the phrase classic week for the last event and are now calling it the finals weeks - much better. classic never meant anything to anyone

Assuming the last venue is aimed at getting fans in. Could be tempted with a trip to that.

 Copper Box sounds interesting and perhaps they are hoping the wild cards will be decent names ?
