What amount of $ is it going to take to make the top 100? I think $35,000. Will be the magic number. What are your guesses?
How much $ to make top 100 in IPT?
- Thread starter poolsucker
- Start date
For an IPT member, I think if they make it out of the first round all 4 tournaments, they should do well. As of right now, there are 22 qualifiers that finished above Mike Z. that have not qualified for the World Open (some of those will automatically qualfiy for next year) and 18 below him that have not yet qualified. Of course, there will be some new ones that will finish higher in this one event, but then he does have an advantage, by being able to play in 2 members-only events. Right now, he is sitting on 101. 
It could be that Lining, sitting at around #19 and only $17k, may be the defining mark.
I am rooting for my man to make it!

People can make guesses on this, but there's so many factors involved, there's no telling.
It'll be tough for non-card holders to make it to the top 100, as there are two open events and two non-open events. If someone who got in via a qualifier did REALLY well, that could be their only chance - they might not qualify again for the World event. Whereas a card holder could do worse, but still have four events to increase their winnings total.
I'll go out on a limb and guess that less than five non-card holders will make the top 100.

I'll have to contradict you there, Scott. I think Luat, Matlock, Diks, Nevel and Alcano make it in without any more effort at $30K. And Nevel will add to his bounty because he is the only one that has re-qualified so far.
Lining, Martinez, Kirkwood, Tot, and Sambajon will most likely make it because all of them except Lining so far have requalified and will add to their $17k.
Good chances for Boyes, Moore, Kucharo, and Walden that have all qualified again for the World Open and will have their last chance to do well and add to their $10k.
Nebulous, are Marquez and Majid, the only other qualifiers that have re-qualified so far, that will have a chance to jump out of their $5K winnings bracket.
So all told, that leaves 16 with the possibility, and does not include the people who have qualified for the first time for the WO (I know Brady Gollan plays world-class 8 ball!) and may do well in their only shot. It also does not include qualifiers still to come in the next 2 weeks that have already played in the NAO.

Good analysis Linda.
If 16 players make it in for sure, which seems likely - then that will fall right in line with many people's estimate that 65 or so existing tour card holders will not win a new tour card automatically. I've had the estimate as high as 70-72, but figured it will most likely be 60-70, but probably closer to 70.
I think the guys that were in the NAO who've done well and requalified for the WO are going to do well again. I doubt that many of them, if any, will see 1st round knockouts. Maybe 1 of them. They all play very strong.
I also think that at least 1-2 of the brand new qualifiers for the WO are going to do well. I don't know how many will have great runs to the $36,000 round...but qualifying for this tournament has proven TOUGHER than the NAO. That says a lot, given that the qualifiers from the NAO, as a whole, did pretty well. They have it tougher, since they have only 1 tournament to make it. We'll see.

Sorry Scott I think youre way off here, I did some donkey work which is very useful, these are all the qualifiers on 5k or more and also indicated which ones of qualified again. The top 5 are def in, plus 4 from the next 5 with only lining not qualified. So thats 9 already. We then have 4 of the guys on 10k that have an additional 5k from qualifying, so they got a great chance too, so make it 14. Plus another 3 on 5k that have qualified giving them a chance. Chuck in the likes of Drago and engert and other knew qualifiers that will probably earn a spot off just the World Open so I think we're looking at about 25 qualifiers (give or take 5 maybe).
The crucial thing here is that the world open seedings will be based on the money list, so even all the guys above will get a good first round draw with atleast 2 players from the bottom of the pile in their group. After we have the next 20 qualifier names we'll have a pretty good idea how many are likely to go through. Remember the card holders are only guaranteed 13k and upto 80 of them are prob not going to make it through the first round in each event.

One thing to keep in mind is that the payouts are greater in the world championships?

i'd be willing to bet that with his one and only chance, thomas engert earns enoughthis one event to earn his 2007 tour card.
he is my darkhorse to make the final 6!!!!

It'll be interesting to see what it takes to make the top 100, expecially after the World Championships.
I think some people will be suprised to see that alot of NON card holders will be in the Top 100. Expecially if you look at the last tournament and how many non card holders where in the top 50 and even top 100.
