The 2018/19 snooker season was a series of snooker tournaments that are part of the Main Tour .

Season results

For the season, 26 competitions have been added to the tournament calendar. 20 events were world ranking tournaments, including the four tournaments of the Home Nations Series , two tournaments with amateur participation and the shoot-out tournament. The 7 invitation tournaments include the 6-Red World Championship, the Championship League and two team competitions.

The Players Championship for the top 16 of the one-year ranking was held in the previous two years . This season it was expanded to the Coral Cup (named after the sponsor): At the World Grand Prix , the top 32 competed first, then the top 16 at the Players Championship and the top 8 in the final Tour Championship .

The China versus Britain Challenge (first edition 2017 ) was originally planned for November 2018 . Due to logistical problems of the organizer, it was supposed to be postponed and finally did not take place.

World ranking

Player of the Main Tour 2018/19

Due to disputes between the professional association WPBSA and the amateur association IBSF , the Main Tour qualification through the amateur associations and their tournaments was discontinued. Only the U21 World Cup and the junior and senior championships of the European association , for which the players had already registered before the announcement, were not affected . The newly introduced WSF Championship 2018 replaced the amateur world championship; there were neither title holders nor nominations from Asia, Africa and Oceania. This reduced the number of professionals to 128 this season.

In addition to the 64 best-placed players in the world rankings at the end of the 2017/18 season and 33 players who were eligible to start for two years in 2017, the following 31 players will be given a starting place for the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons:

Qualification via the one-year ranking

Qualification via the EBSA Amateur Play Offs

Qualification via the CBSA China Tour

International championships:

Qualification via the Q School ( tournament 1 , tournament 2 and tournament 3 )

World Snooker Tour Card

Invitational Tour Card
