The 2024 Q School is a series of four snooker tournaments to be held at the start of the 2024–25 snooker season. An event for amateur players, it serves as a qualification event for a place on the professional World Snooker Tour for the following two seasons. The events will take place in May and June 2024 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England and also at the BSAT Academy in Bangkok, Thailand with a total 12 players qualifying via the four tournaments. The two events held in England were organised by the World Snooker Tour, whilst those in Thailand were organised by the Billiard Sports Association of Thailand.[1]
Format[edit]
The 2024 Q School consists of four events, two held in the UK and two "Asia-Oceania" events held in Thailand.[1] The Asia-Oceania events were only open to citizens of those continents. Any player was allowed to enter the UK events, but players could not enter both the Asia-Oceania and UK events.[1] All matches will be the best of seven frames.
Event 1[edit]
The first 2024 Q School event will be held from 21 to 26 May 2024 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England.[2]
Event 2[edit]
The second 2024 Q School event will be held from 27 May to 1 June 2024 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England.[3]
Asia-Oceania event 1[edit]
The first 2024 Asia-Oceania Q School event will be held from 22 to 27 May 2024 at the BSAT Academy in Bangkok, Thailand.[4]
Asia-Oceania event 2[edit]
The second 2024 Asia-Oceania Q School event will be held from 28 May to 2 June 2024 at the BSAT Academy in Bangkok, Thailand.[5]
Q School Order of Merit[edit]
A Q School Order of Merit will be produced for players who fail to gain a place on the main tour. The Order of Merit will be used to top up fields for the 2024–25 snooker season where an event fails to attract the required number of entries.[1] The rankings in the Order of Merit will be based on the number of frames won in the two UK Q School events. Players who receive a bye into the second round will be awarded four points for round one. Where players were equal, those who win the most frames in the first event will be ranked higher. Other tie-breaker criteria will be used if players are still tied.
