It will make things very competitive. The one thing that hasn't been explained yet is how it will affect those who have just been promoted to the Main Tour.
Usually they start with the same number of points as the lowest qualifier from the previous season, but the new rolling system could complicate this.

They could be given their starter points and that could be classsed as a years worth of points and they'll have to work their way up. Wonder if they'll utilise wild cards like in tennis ?

I think we'll see wild cards in some events, like the World Open, but not the majors like the World and UK Championships... We may still see the local wild cards in the overseas events.

Brazil's Igor Figueiredo and Germany's Patrick Einsle have been given wild cards for the Main Tour for next season.
One more wild card will be awarded as the European champion Luca Brecel is too young to take up his place on the Tour.
Kurt Maflin, who was born in England but represents Norway, won the European Play-off to regain his place on the Tour.
The final line-up of 96 players should be confirmed soon.
