Thanks Snooker Org. Great website, keep up the great work you do. Would be great to do a feature of your website soon.

Thank you Lula. Appreciate this. I thought there was a general 'provisional seedings' page. Maybe the seeding cut off points are not yet known which is why the page isn't there.

@snookerorg.bsky.social Hi Snooker Org. Hope all is well. Is there still a link on your website to see the provisional seedings?

Can't seem to see it unless 'provisional rankings' is the same thing?
