SNOOKER POWER RANKING - UK CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE

After a slow start, the Champion of Champions made it feel like the season has finally started.

The event quickly made its way into being one of the five most traditional stops on tour. So now, after we've seen enough of what the players look like this season, it's time to finally make the first Power Ranking of the season. As always, "OVR" (overall) stands for the average of all the attributes ratings, and only the top 16 feature. Criteria can be found in the bottom end.
