Click below for the Q School 2025 Order of Merit. During the 2025/2026 season, should the number of entries in any World Snooker Tour event fall below the required number of entrants, subject to wildcards and commercial agreements, the highest ranked players from the Q School Order of Merit will be used to top up to the required number of entrants. The list was calculated by awarding one point for every frame won. All players who received a bye into Round Two were awarded four points for round one.

The Asian Q-Schools are not included. You will tell me that an Asian “top-up” is unlikely to travel to the UK to play in qualifiers. It would be costly, and would involve a lot of administrative hassle as well. But then again “qualifiers” for Asian events, if any , should be played just before the said events and in locations close to the events’ main venue, and, than “Asian” top ups would make sense.

Or indeed, if any of the top players withdraws from Round 1, in a held-over match.
But yes, a system riddled with inconsistencies and fudges.
