The official 2017/2018 snooker world ranking points for the professional snooker players on the World Snooker Main Tour in the 2017/2018 season are based on performances in ranking and minor-ranking tournaments over a two-year rolling period. The rankings at the start of 2017/2018 season are determined by prize money earned in the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons and are updated after every tournament carrying ranking status. As points are accrued from tournaments throughout the current season, the points from the corresponding tournaments from two seasons earlier are dropped. The rankings set the official seedings at the start of the season and at various further stages throughout, which are documented below. Other rankings produced after each ranking event which are not used to seed tournaments and therefore have no practical purpose are not noted here. The total points accumulated by the cut-off dates for the revised seedings are based on all the points up to that date in the 2017/2018 season, all of the points from the 2016/2017 season, and the points from the 2015/2016 season that have not yet been dropped. The total points from the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons set the rankings at the start of the 2018/2019 season.

Notes

  1. ^ "Ch" = Change since the beginning of the 2016/2017 season. See [4] for the player rankings at the start of the season.
  2. ^ The 2015/2016 points only include the ranking points that count towards the next seedings update. All new players or players regaining a place on the tour started on 0 points.
  3. ^ Under World Snooker's rules players are not generally awarded points if they qualify for an event and then withdraw. However, World Snooker's appeals committee reserves the right to award points at their discretion and occasionally the finalised ranking list published after the tournament is inconsistent with the provisional list updated by the WPBSA during the tournament, in the event that discretionary points have been awarded. In such instances this table might include points not documented on the WPBSA's provisional list, which have been factored into the table so the overall totals and rankings match those on the finalised ranking list.
  4. ^ See [4] for the rankings at the first seedings cut-off point; see [8] for the second; see [9] for the third; see [10] for the fourth; see [11] for the fifth.
  5. ^ On 11 October 2017 Stuart Bingham was given a six month ban from the World Snooker Tour, due to betting breaches. The suspension is effective from 28 October 2017 until 26 January 2018, with the remainder of the disqualification period suspended until 31 October 2018, which will not be enforced provided Bingham fully complies with his gambling addiction programme.[12]
  6. ^ Leo Fernandez has been suspended from the World Snooker Tour for fifteen months, starting 27 May 2016.[13]
