The Q School 2020/3 was the last of three qualifying tournaments for the Snooker Main Tour in 2020. The winners in the four groups of this tournament were given the right to start for the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons . The Games took place between August 5th and 9th at the English Institute of Sports in Sheffield . The tournament mode is described in the article on the first tournament .

The result of the third tournament was Jamie Wilson and Farakh Ajaib , two newcomers to the tour, so that at this year's Q School a total of 4 of the 12 qualified players received professional status for the first time. Both players come from England, as do the other two tournament winners: Rory McLeod returned to the Main Tour after a year, Steven Hallworth after a four-year break.

Results

172 players had registered for the tournament. They played for the 4 places on the Snooker Main Tour that were up for grabs. According to the official tournament mode, the tournament was played in 6 rounds until the four semi-finalists were determined. The semi-finals and finals were then no longer held. 88 players competed against each other in round 1, 84 players were seeded for round 2. The first two rounds were played on August 5th and 6th in best-of-5 mode (3 winning frames). The remaining 64 players then contested the other 4 rounds in the Best of 7 mode on August 9th.

For the sake of clarity, the results are presented in 4 groups, each representing a quarter of the tournament tree.
