Anybody knows where to find a full breakdown of the ranking points (and prize money) of this tournament? Couldn't find it on worldsnooker.

Still see that the difference in prize money between the Winner and Runner up is massive .

Thanks very much. Highly interesting. Agree with Neil that the difference between Winner and runner-up is just too big.

I inspected the main draw of the China Championship a bit closer now. It really offers some interesting prospects:
- Stuart Bingham plays rising Chinese star Yan Bingtao in the first round. And the winner is likely to play Stephen Maguire in the second round already.
- Hossein Vafaei takes on Marco Fu in the first round.
- Judd Trump and Ronnie O'Sullivan could already meet in the round of sixteen.

A pity that is still one more month of wait until the start of this tournament.
