2020–21 snooker world rankings
Remove ads

The sport of professional snooker has had a world ranking system in place since 1976.[1] Certain tournaments were given ranking status, with the results at those events contributing to a player's world ranking. The events that made up the 1976–77 snooker season were the first to use ranking points, awarding points from earlier seasons.[1] Originally, the world rankings were decided based only on results in the World Snooker Championship, but other events were later added.[1] The system used for the 2020–21 snooker season was first used in the 2010–11 season, where players were awarded ranking points based entirely on prize money won from these events.[2] The rankings are based on the prior two seasons, with ten revisions after specific tournaments throughout the season.[3] These revisions are used as official rankings, with points awarded in the current season overwriting those from two years prior.[2]
