Ronnie's match is first on the list because he's the defending champion for this tournament. It doesn't necessarily mean it will be the first match to take place. I haven't seen the order of play yet so I'm not sure when Ronnie's match will start.
There are a lot of points up for grabs in this tournament. Only the World Championship offers more points. Ronnie's still far enough ahead in the rankings to still be at #1 after this tournament, even if he went out in the 1st round.
The Premier League, which Ronnie won last weekend, doesn't count towards the world rankings because: a) there are only 7 players involved. It would be rather unfair on the 89 players who aren't in it. b) it's run by Matchroom Sport, rather than the sport's governing body World Snooker. That means Ronnie didn't receive any ranking points for winning it.
Two session matches means the matches are longer than usual and won't be played all in one go, like they are in most tournaments. For example, a match could start one evening, then they come back to finish the following afternoon. Each match up until the final will be best of 17 (first to 9 wins). Even the qualifying rounds were played in this way.

Best of 17 means the maximum number of frames in the match is 17. That means the first to 9 wins (the highest possible match score being 9-8).

Credit to McLeod for digging in from a seemingly impossible position but it's an ominous sign that Ronnie was able to halt the charge and get over the line.
Joe Perry in the next round could be a tough challenge. He really seems to play better in the longer matches...
Today's results: Ronnie O'Sullivan 9-6 Rory McLeod Joe Perry 9-0 Mark Davis (Davis withdrew due to ill health with the score at 1-0) Ryan Day 5-9 Matthew Stevens Graeme Dott 9-4 Ken Doherty
To be completed: Marco Fu 3-5 Barry Hawkins Mark Selby 3-5 Mark Williams Mark King 5-3 Judd Trump Stephen Hendry 5-3 Stephen Lee

Poor Rory, what a way to enter the British champ after 17 yrs of trying!
Saw it up to 4-0, good for him to pull it back, if nerves didnt get to him he could have had a serious challange!
Hopefully see him somewhere else soon.
