Rankings for the Masters

[gavpowell]

When can we expect to see the final lineup for this tournament? After the UK? Or do the European events get taken into account too?

Also, working on the basis that Robertson is defending champion and thus first to play, how do I know which table he's on? I bought tickets for the whole lot so it's not a huge issue, I've just never known how they decide who gets which table.

The masters always has One table. Has it changed?

As for the cut off point for rankings, I do not know.

[Looki]

The cut of for the Master, UK, German Master and shoot-out is now after the International Championship.

Sorry, no it hasn't changed - I cocked up condensing two points - I was thinking of the world's, when Ronnie is defending champ but I've no idea which table he'll be on.

[Gerry Armstrong]

Big assumption that he'll even turn up..

World champion always plays on 'table 1' at the crucible on opening morning (the one on the left when looking from the audiences point of view)

Excellent, ta for that, and thanks to Looki for the answer to my first question, and the rest of you for playing

Can I extrapolate from there that table one always goes to the highest-ranked player?

I've been going to the Crucible and Wembley for years, but previously, by time I bought tickets, the order of play was already established!

Usually on World Snooker they do upload the order of play sometime before the tournament but as to table allocation, I have not seen this included.
I would say that this is down to the Tournament Director and probably very close to the start date.
anyone, any further info to do with tables?
cheers

its the current top 15 plus Ronnie Barry Hawkins Misses out due to the world champion being out of the 16

[SnookerFan]

I'm waiting for them to announce orders for matches before I buy tickets as well.

Well, you were right there!

[Gerry Armstrong]

Well, you were right there!

Believe me, in this case I take no pleasure or satisfaction in being right.

[alex_5525]

What happens if ronnie doesnt turn up (which he says hes done now for the season), do 16 and 17 get spots in the world championships? Or does someone get a bye?

[LittleMissAlexa]

reverts back to the top 16
