ンジ賞金ランキング2位から7位までの選手には来年のツアー前半戦の出場優先権(第1回リランキングまで)が与えられる。今年は4位の星野陸也がレギュラーツアーの賞金ランキングで現在33位につけており、来年のシード権獲得をほぼ濃厚にしている。したがって、その場合は8位の姜志満(カンジマン)が繰り上がって、出場優先権を得る。
[Players ranked 2nd to 7th in the prize money rankings will be given priority for the first half of next year's Tour (until the first reranking). This year, No. 4 Rikuya Hoshino is currently ranked 33rd in the regular tour money rankings, almost all but close to earning a seeding for next year. Therefore, in that case, 8th place Kang Ji-man will advance and get priority for the competition.]
