The BBC's contract was up and they only wanted three tournaments in the new deal, rather than four, and as the least important of the events they show, the World Open was the one they dropped. They still have the UK Championship in December, the Masters in January and the World Championship in April.

Time for a catchup.
Mark Selby won the Shanghai Masters, coming from behind to beat Mark Williams in the final and as a result is set to become the new world #1.
Selby had also won PTC4 the previous week, beating Mark Davis in the final.
The non-ranking Brazil Masters took place with Shaun Murphy beating Graeme Dott 5-0 in the final to take the title.
Andrew Higginson won his first professional title last weekend, beating John Higgins in the PTC5 final.
PTC6 is taking place this weekend in Poland with Trump, Robertson, Murphy and Steve Davis among those through to the last 16.
PTC6 is the final tournament before the first cut-off point of the season. This cut-off will decide the automatic qualifiers for the UK Championship, Masters and German Masters. I'll post the updated rankings this week.

He might have been provisional #1 for a short time before but this is the first time he has officially topped the world rankings.

I think the rankings are quite exciting now there are three cut off points. Significant other events are that Stephen Hendry has dropped out of the top 16 for the first time since around 1988 and won't play in the Masters and Stuart Bingham gets in the top 16 for the first time.
Stephen Lee is back in the top 16 after a great run of form !!

Stephen Lee is back in the top 16 after a great run of form !! It certainly prevents players coasting through the season as some were able to in the past. Bingham certainly deserves it as he's been knocking on the door for years... Another interesting note is if you take off the points due to be dropped after the second cut-off in January, Ronnie is down to #17. He has some work to do...

Only picking up points in three of the PTC events hasn't helped...

They do count towards the rankings but the amount of points on offer is small compared to the major events. Ronnie won one of the PTC events this season, putting him at #2 in the PTC standings but that only accounts for about 4,800 of the 38,000 points he's picked up over the last two years. Ronnie hasn't done great in the major ranking events in the last couple of years (when he's actually taken part) which accounts for his drop down the rankings. If he doesn't do well at the UK Championship, he could drop out of the top 16 of the world rankings in January.

After his PTC7 win Ronnie O'Sullivan is now up to 16 on the provisional rankings for the next cut offs.
On World Snooker there is a big headline saying Ronnie is now back up to 12th but those rolling rankings have no relevance whatsoever until it reaches cut off time.

I have no idea why World Snooker bother with them...
