WSS Rankings | Event Eight Update

The World Seniors Snooker (WSS) ranking lists have been updated following the eighth and penultimate World Seniors Tour event of the 2025/26 season at The Crucible Club in Reading.

• Official Two-Year Ranking List
• Race to the Crucible Ranking List
• Super Seniors Ranking List
• Rankings FAQ

The top two players on the official WSS ranking list, as well as the top two on the ‘Race to the Crucible’ one-year list will earn their places in the World Seniors Championship.

One point is awarded for each frame won at an event and, should the same players sit in the top two of both rankings lists, then the official world rankings would take priority.

CANAVAN CONFIRMS CRUCIBLE SPOT

Aaron Canavan has guaranteed his place at the top of the official two-year WSS ranking list after winning the event eight title in Reading.

The former World Seniors champion, who finished as runner-up to Alfie Burden at the Crucible Theatre last year, has therefore confirmed his return to snooker’s most iconic venue in May.

In second place is Northern Ireland’s Gerard Greene, who has won four titles this season and is favourite to secure the other qualifying position via the two-year ranking list.

Greene holds a 21-point advantage over third-placed Wayne Townsend, who is aiming for a second Crucible appearance, while the top five is completed by Dharminder Lilly and the already qualified Burden.

GREENE IN POLL POSITION

Gerard Greene has maintained his position at the summit of the one-year ‘Race to the Crucible’ ranking list after reaching a sixth consecutive final in Reading.

Greene and Jersey’s Aaron Canavan holds the top two positions, just as they do in the two-year ranking list, with 14 points separating the two.

Wayne Townsend remains in third, 25 points behind second-placed Canavan, while Stuart Watson and Matthew Ford lead the chasing pack.

The remainder of the top ten is made up of Neal Jones, Philip Williams, Daniel Ward and Neil Craycraft.

HUNTER MAINTAINS LEAD

John Hunter remains at the top of the Super Seniors ranking list after securing another title at The Crucible Club in Reading.

He now holds a 15 point advantage over second placed David Brock, while Neil Carroll holds third position.

The rest of the top ten sees Dennis Tristram, Andrew Barrett, Mark Evans, Wayne Martin, Andrew Norman, John Rees and Kevin Wilshere.
