A number of readers have asked if it might be possible to publish an up-to-date professional ranking list. The current list is as below. Lists published elsewhere, and which readers may have seen, contained an error. This error was in placing Robby Foldvari above Mike Russell. A representative of the WPBSA Billiards Committee has informed this magazine that Russell is, in fact, still in second place. This may change in the light of the Championship results, and results from the outstanding Grand Slam Tournaments.
