And only 4 qualifiers - one more withdrawal and they dont need to play the fina round of qualies? Other than for a few ranking points? Bublik most likely to withdraw? But Jan looks like he has a strong chance of being in, one way or another.

Next year the week 45 events wont count towards the race for that year - the race ends at Paris

The events will count towards the race for the following year ie effectively start the race before the tour finals take place.

I agree stopping at Paris, totally good idea. But not sure why these events even need to be in the race for the next year at all, although presumably all the challengers at the end of the season also count towards the following years race?
