With just the Cazoo World Championship to be completed for the majority of players on the World Snooker Tour, today we look at the current standings as the annual race for ‘Tour Survival’ reaches its climax next month.
HOW CAN TOUR PLACES BE RETAINED?
At the end of this season (i.e. after the 2024 World Championship), all players not on the first year of a two-year tour card must finish inside of the world’s top 64 on the official world ranking list to remain on the circuit next term.
Additionally, the top FOUR money earners during the current 2023/24 season, who are outside of that top 64 on the two-year list, will earn a fresh tour card. All other players will be relegated, unless they are able to re-qualify through Q School.
WHAT IS THE PROVISIONAL END OF SEASON RANKING LIST?
The provisional end of season ranking list includes all money earned during last season (2022/23), and from the current 2023/24 season.
This differs from the official rolling world ranking list, which still currently includes prize money from the 2021/22 season which will not count towards the race for next season’s tour places. To provide the most accurate picture of the Tour Survival battle, this money has already been removed from the table.
