National Seedings points and Ranking list

18 December 2011

The official National Ranking list has not been updated on the PNZ website since the National Triples.

After receiving a few questions regarding the Top 20 players in the National Rankings, the list has been extended to cover all players who are believed to have gained seeding points in the last two years. Until the new rankings are published here is an (unofficial) list based on our understanding of the points allocation.
