Please refer to the calendar for seeding cut off dates. Players losing their first match will receive prize money in full however this money will not count towards the prize money rankings other than in the World Grand Prix and Players Championship. Players who qualify for the final stages of an event but do not subsequently attend that event, for whatever reason, will not receive any prize money, nor will they receive any contribution towards the prize money rankings for the event until the situation has been considered by the appeals committee who may, at their absolute discretion, allocate ranking points where it can be demonstrated that there are extreme mitigating circumstances. These points will be allocated from the date of the committee meeting and will not affect previously issued draws. Winners of a pre-qualifying round will receive half of the Last 64 round prize money and this WILL count towards the prize money rankings, but this only applies to those players who then lose in Round 1. Players winning a pre-qualifying round and then winning further matches will be paid the prize money as outlined for that round in the prize money breakdown. Players who finished outside of the top 64 in the 2017/2018 season but regain a tour place by any means will start on zero prize money. Players starting on zero prize money will be ranked in alphabetical order to determine a ranking. At the end of the season players on equal prize money will be ranked according to the most prize money earned in the last season. Should this not determine positions, prize money in events working backwards from the World Championship 2018 will be considered. Finally, if still equal, frames won in losing final match would be used from events working backwards from the World Championship 2018. 03/10/2017 .
