We base our rankings on how UK players performed in the elite no-limit events around the world during 2006. We take into account every open event with a buy-in of ,000+, with points based on finishing position, number of entrants and size of buy-in. The movement (+/-) column shows how may places players have moved up (+) or moved down (-) the table.

HOW WE WORK OUT THE RANKINGS

Finishing position where the buy-in was equal to or more than ,000.

The number of entries, rounded down to the nearest ten (e.g. 204 entries counts as 'up to 200').

The buy-in.

The criteria are then multiplied together to give the points total. If a player makes the top ten in more than one event we multiply their points total by 1.5, for three events by 2, for four events by 2.5 etc.
