Seedings - any change?

In the past the seedings were done as follows No.1 - Current holder of the competition, No.2 - World Champion if different from No.1, No 3 - Highest person in the rankings and so on.

Is this the same this season? or has Barry Hearn changed it.

If he hasnt, does anyone agree with me that the World Champion shouldn't get this privilege expecially now the seedings are changed during the season now.

good question

i think number 1 is alway the defending champion. not sure if WC is seed 2 or not?

I can confirm that the defending champion is always number 1 seed
the WC (if a different player) will be number 2 seed.

I Have created a thread to keep up to date with all the seedings.
