Q School Order of Merit
World Snooker announced that a ranking list (the Q School Order of Merit) should be created based on the games and frames won. However, this was never published for reasons not mentioned. Using this ranking, the aim was to fill the ranking tournaments of the 2012/13 season for which at least 96 of the professional players had not registered with the best Q School players who were not qualified for the Main Tour. In the absence of an official order of merit, only a few posts in snooker forums provide information on the actual ranking.
The following players took part in the qualifying rounds of the ranked tournaments in the following season:
- Gareth Allen ( Shanghai Masters , International Championship , UK Championship , Haikou World Open , China Open , Welsh Open )
- Justin Astley ( Australian Goldfields Open , Haikou World Open, China Open, Welsh Open)
- Jordan Brown ( German Masters , Welsh Open)
- Jeff Cundy (Australian Goldfields Open)
- Adrian Gunnell ( Wuxi Classic , Australian Goldfields Open, German Masters)
- Duane Jones (Wuxi Classic, Australian Goldfields Open, UK Championship, Haikou World Open, Welsh Open)
- Mitchell Mann (Australian Goldfields Open)
- Fraser Patrick (Wuxi Classic, Australian Goldfields Open, Shanghai Masters, International Championship, UK Championship, German Masters, China Open, Snooker World Championship )
- Lee Spick (Australian Goldfields Open)
- Allan Taylor (Australian Goldfields Open)
- Michael Wild (Wuxi Classic, Australian Goldfields Open, Haikou World Open, China Open)
Some players (e.g. Gareth Allen and Scott Donaldson ) decided not to take part in the first ranking tournaments in order to qualify for the Main Tour via the EBSA European Snookere Championship . Donaldson succeeded in doing this.
