Race to the World Tour Finals
Post-Shanghai Edition

In - 5020 points required to qualify

John Hart - 12,550
Brian Meikeljohn - 8,780
Barry Molyneaux - 5,920
Isa Solheim - 5,340
Ali Solberg - 5,330
Nicolas Perez - 5,280

Four more players join the field, leaving just two remaining outstanding. Your guess is as good as mine how 4-6 finish. The Shanghai title leaves open the possibility that Nicolas Perez could be Top 4 going into next year - that would be huge for accelerating his climb. It's more than close enough to make the chance of a ranking calculation bug screwing things up a live concern.

Probable

Seamus Hughes - 4925
Sushant Chiba - 4120

Hughes is all but certain, and even if Chiba returns to full-time throwing up all over himself the rest of the way, which is entirely possible, he's still a strong favorite for that final spot.

Contenders

none

Long Shots

Mike Rhodes - 3490
Srba Dogic - 3340
Valery Stachovsky - 3305

Stachovsky's status as an indoor specialist gives him the best chance, but it's still very much a remote one esp. given how he has played lately. Anybody here would pretty much need to win one of the 500s and then go deep at Paris. Possible, but highly unlikely.
