The maximum number of points awarded for winning a qualifying tournament is 80 for a Level One event and the minimum given for a victory would be 28 for a Category Three event. There will be three separate ranking lists with the top player in each ranking gaining an automatic spot on Team Europe for the 23rd annual Mosconi Cup which takes place at the Alexandra Palace, London from 6th to 9th December. The first ranking will comprise the nine European events ? ?European Ranking?; the second will be the three WPA international events ? ?World Ranking?; the third will be made up of all 12 events ? ?Combined Ranking?. A spokesperson for Matchroom Sport said, ?In the light of there being 25 events determining the three USA automatic spots, we decided to up the ante in Europe and include some smaller established events that traditionally attract very strong fields. ?The system in place still weighs against non-European based contenders so we will be looking at all events when determining the two wildcards at the end of the qualification.
