Rankings FAQ

Points will continue to be awarded for every frame won at each of the nine events.

The official world rankings are now a two-year rolling system with players defending points from the last two seasons.

The top two ranked players on the official world rankings on 7 April 2025 will be invited to participate in the 2025 World Seniors Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

The Race to the Crucible series will be based purely on performances across the 2024/25 season and will encourage new tour players to join with them not thinking they are a year behind those already established.

The top two ranked players on the Race to the Crucible series ranking list on 7 April 2025 will be invited to participate in the 2025 World Seniors Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

Should the same players sit in the top two of both rankings lists then the official world rankings would take priority.

Players ranked 3rd to 10th in both the official world ranking list and the Race to the Crucible series ranking list will invited to a shootout qualifying event where the winner will receive a place in the 2025 World Seniors Championship. Should a player be ranked in these positions on both ranking lists then the official world ranking list will take priority.
