I am a Chinese snooker fan. When I read the ranking list, I found that some plays' scores in the UK championship are zero, e.g. Mark Davis, Ian McCulloch and John Parrott. But they have taken part in the game. Parrott lost his first round in the UK championship qualifying, nevertheless he can get 675 scores, as to Mark and Ian, they have entered into the first round of UK championship, i.e. they should get 2100 scores. But all the scores have not calculated into the present ranking scores. So, I wonder why their scores are zero.
呵呵，没想到他们还真的给了俺一个回复：

These three players withdrew from the Maplin UK Championship. All withdrawals have to be reviewed by the disciplinary committee and once this process is completed a decision will be made on whether the players qualify for points or not depending on their reason for withdrawing.
The ranking list and website will be updated accordingly.

因为三名球员中途退赛，纪律委员会按程序将审查他们的退赛原因，最重决定他们的积分问题。

其实对于马克-戴维斯的退赛，俺是知道的，因为国内有报道，而且比分显示是9比0，但其它两位都有看似“正常”的比分，应该都是打了一半赢过两三局后因“病”退赛的。

不过，总的来说，老外的工作还是比较细致的。以后还可以向他们提些问题或建议，比如赛制改革问题。
