Facecloth Posted 6 May 2014 Share Posted 6 May 2014 Am I right in thinking Ronnie has only been getting a spot in the World Championships for the last two years because he's world champion, as his ranking is too low for him to qualify the normal way? So next year he'll either have to play more to improve his ranking, or he'll have to go through qualifying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 6 May 2014 Share Posted 6 May 2014 Correct, can almost see him not being arsed trying to qualify. That's what I was thinking. Because we know he doesn't want to play a shit load of tournaments throughout the year. Be interesting to see which choice he takes. You'd imagine he'd waltz through qualifying if he tried, especially if he keeps a half decent ranking, but it's whether he can be arsed. Unless Hearn's invitational thing is in place by next year, then he might just get in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've changed it to prize money as opposed to ranking points for next season I thought, meaning Ronnie's 4th somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fourth for winning the masters, the world championship, getting to the final this year and winning the welsh open.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 6 May 2014 Share Posted 6 May 2014 Shed a small tear last night watching this as well. A world champion from the Parks, incredible stiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is a bit wrong to me when someone can jump from outside of the top 32 to 4th because of a change of ranking system. And his World Title last year wouldn't count now anyway and the Masters isn't a ranking event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 6 May 2014 Share Posted 6 May 2014 Given that it's the Daily Mail I suspect there's some exaggeration and sensationalism of the actual incident. Least there's no serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theessexfox Posted 6 May 2014 Share Posted 6 May 2014 Riders were double champions last year, and Tigers are in the playoffs for this season. Just need the cricketers to do well and it's pretty much a perfect year for Leicester sport. They're dominating us down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
