Assessment

It looks like Leon Polychroniadis has the definite inside track to remain #2, while Cananis & Caballero battle it out for the relatively unimportant #3 spot. Oleg Urazov's aggregate results are enough to get him back to the Finals as well now.

Jochen Weigle won a pair of 500s and a 250 late last year; his spot in the overall rankings will not be as secure if he can't repeat those successes. Themis Xanthos is still listed as a 'mathematical courtesy', but he won't return. Joss Fraikes's number is what I think it should be; his WTC points aren't being included by the game in his countable tournaments for some reason, and unless that changes he'll drop lower.

Given all of that, it's looking like Johann Przalowik is the newcomer, joining Weigle and Bardales in some order for the final three. Banqueria and de Laurentiis aren't quite out of it, but they're definitely being handed their hats.
