I've added the eight players who qualify for the Grand Prix by rating. Don't believe this counts as original research, as it comes from the FIDE rating lists + Grand Prix qualification rules, both of which are freely available; however, if this does count as original research, feel free to remove those players from the table. Below is the table of ratings used to determine who qualifies. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 01:13, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It could be called original research, given you are totting up the ratings manually (I had similar issues with the "Road to Candidates 2016" table in the past for the very same reason), but I won't fight it. I seriously doubt all those qualifiers will be actually taking part. The new rules on sponsorship could put players off. Jkmaskell (talk) 12:33, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think a lot of people are wondering what we'll become of the series, and when it can start 85.76.15.172 (talk) 10:36, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is dealt with in the article with a ref supporting it. It has been put off till 2017, but there has not been an official announcement. Jkmaskell (talk) 12:44, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
