1) The rankings for Season 4 will start on receipt of the first results
2) Ranking points will be allocated as follows:
National Championships (including overseas events and the WCOAP Main Event, excluding Team Championships)
The top 18 finishers will be awarded ranking points (from 18 points for 1st place down to 1 point for 18th)
WCOAP Side Events
The top 9 finishers will be awarded ranking points (from 9 points for 1st place down to 1 point for 9th)
NB: the results from the Specialist Series will not be included in the National Rankings
3) Each National Championship in this league will have a GUKPT main event seat added for the winner as well as a seat in the APAT Champions Final. The WCOAP Main Event winner will win a seat at the GUKPT Grand Final. APAT WCOAP Side Event winners, National and Online Rankings winners will also receive seats in the APAT Champions Final.
4) The winner of the APAT Champions final will win a £20,000 APAT sponsorship package for 2011.

Thanks Jon, I"m looking forward to more timely updating this year. Bit wary that the dreaded phrase "on receipt of" is in there again. Does the updater not know, the minute the tournament finishes, what the result is, so the tables can be updated immediately? Hopefully it will be better this year.

That was the exact reason I used that wording
Online tournaments for example - no, you can"t see the minute the tournament finishes what the result is for rankings, all you can see is the usernames of the people in ranking positions.
It could usually be done from the reporting of the results for the live tournaments rather than the "official results", but there are several people with the same name who play live and you couldn"t really base a system for ranking on something which you know for sure will definitely have exceptions having to be made.
i.e. waiting for the confirmed and verified results means the same process can be repeated for every tournament rather than having to make a judgement for each separate one

That said - there were a number of delays last season and hopefully those steps will be more speedy this time
