WST has published the draws and schedule of the two 2024 Asia-Oceania Q-School events
he Billiard Sports Association of Thailand will host Asia and Oceania Q School 2024 from 22 May to 2 June 2024 at the BSAT Academy at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok. There will be two tournaments and the two finalists from each event will earn a place on the World Snooker Tour for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons.
Former pros Sunny Akani, Gao Yang, Himanshu Jain, Luo Honghao and Hamza Akbar will be among those battling for tour cards. For results and pictures follow the BSAT Facebook page HERE.

As always, some names are missing: Kritsanut Lertsattayathorn, Kei Kamihashi, Aditya Metha. Of the winners in 2022, only Himanshu Dinesh Jain has re-applied (two of the others didn’t even last their full 2 years). The Thai women Nutcharut Wongharuthai and Ploychompoo Laokiatphong are missing, which means Mink is obviously confident in doing well enough in the Women’s British Open to regain her spot via the women’s rankings. There are no players from outside Asia (Australia, New Zealand, etc.).
However, it’s good to see Gao Yang, Luo Honghao and Sunny Akani are looking to come back. Sunny Akani only entered on the final day, after 2 years of doubts. He now has a young child to look after.
Slightly strangely, some of the Asian players have decided to play in the UK Q School: Peng Yisong, Wang Yuchen, Chang Yu Kiu, Ng On Yee, Lee Daegyu. I understand that Peng has stayed in the UK and Ng On Yee will be playing in the British Open, but in general I’d have thought it was easier to qualify from Asia-Oceania.
