EBSA Order of Merit 2015/16 – Pro Snooker Blog (original) (raw)
As was the case last season, alongside the European Order of Merit will run an EBSA Order of Merit, on which amateurs will be awarded points, with the top 16 after six events qualifying for a play-off event next spring.
Two players from that event will earn two-year tour cards from the start of the 2016/17 season, following in the footsteps of last season’s qualifiers Martin Donnell and Sanderson Lam.
What is it?
As detailed within the player’s pack for each of the six European Tour events staged this season:
“A separate EBSA Order of Merit for amateur players will be compiled from points earned across the 6 Kreativ Dental Clinic European Tour events. The Top 16 players on the EBSA Order of Merit at the end of the 6 events will qualify for the end of season EBSA Play Offs where they will compete for the 2 tour places.”
How does it Work?
As was the case last season, the system will operate as follows:
- World Snooker will produce an Order of Merit to be compiled of points from all 6 European Tour Events
- 10 Points will be allocated for each match won in relation to both matches in pre-qualifying stages and Main Event stages.
- Where a Player is seeded through to a later round of qualifying and they win their first ‘seeded match’ they will receive not only the 10 points for that match but also the 10 points per round for each of the rounds that they were seeded through.
- Where a Player is seeded through to a later round of qualifying, and they lose their first ‘seeded match’ they will be allocated 0 points for that match and 0 points for the round(s) that they were seeded through.
Current Standings
Although there are some 285 players currently on the list, for the time being I have just included the players who have so far earned points…
