If Mink wins she remains on tour and the rankings tour card goes to Ng On Yee.

Correct me if I'm wrong

You are almost right.

If Mink wins, the 2 cards goes to Mink and Ng On Yee for sure.

If Bai Yulu wins, of course she gets the 1st card, the 2nd goes to Mink excepting one case :
Ng On Yee get the card if she wins the last tournament and Mink is seeded through KO Stage and loss this match, or if she doesn't show up.

Scheduling for the final ranking event isn't great (24/May - 26/May) - its in the middle of QSchool (20/May - 02/Jun).

So there isn't a back up for for whoever misses out!

Mink 4-3 up, from 3-1 down

4-4, Bai almost makes a century with 97 break but snookered herself on the last red. Last couple of frames have been good.

5-4 Bai. Good match so far.

fluke!

Bai is World Champion. Wins 6-5.

Bai Yulu 6 v Mink Nutcharut 5.

We have a new World Champion. What a tense last frame with misses. New player to the main tour also!
