The Order of Merit was also used to top up fields for the 2016–17 snooker season where an event failed to attract the required number of entries. The rankings in the Order of Merit were based on the number of frames won in the two Q School events. Players who received a bye into the second round were awarded four points for round one. Where players were equal, those who won the most frames in the first event were ranked higher.https://wst.tv/q-school-ranking-list-2/ https://web.archive.org/web/20200220224442/https://wst.tv/q-school-ranking-list-2/ dead 20 February 2020 Q School ranking list worldsnooker.com 19 May 2016 The leading players in the Q School Order of Merit are given below, those with Q in brackets were awarded places on the main tour.https://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?template=46&season=2015 Q School Order of Merit (2015) - snooker.org www.snooker.org Rank Player Event 1 Event 2 Total1ENG Craig Steadman (Q) 17 21 382ENG Jamie Curtis-Barrett (Q) 19 17 363WAL Ian Preece (Q) 18 17 354ENG Adam Duffy (Q) 18 16 345POL Adam Stefanow 19 13 326ENG Andy Hicks 13 19 327ENG Brandon Sargeant 15 15 308ENG Peter Lines 10 20 309ENG Zak Surety 9 21 3010ENG Daniel Womersley 23 6 29 Two-season performance of qualifiers The following table shows the rankings of the 12 qualifiers from the 2016 Q School, at the end of the 2017–18 snooker season, the end of their two guaranteed seasons on the tour, together with their tour status for the 2018–19 snooker season.
