If permanently blocked, they should be eliminated there IMHO.
But of course we can only guess about their fate.
Agreed on both counts. I think the system automatically recognizes only "credits" earned and they're simply not bothered to remove their scores/earnings, cause they will soon be surpassed by other players, who will win the following events.
Edit: Just occured to me that the latter isn't correct. From what I've read,
if the March pro tier winner tiers up and wins something as a TM in, let's
say July, ALL his earnings (points) from this year's tour will count in
the TM tier. So there's infact a pretty decent chance these 2 will
remain on top. They still won't be able to play the final though, so who
cares, lol.
