Top four qualified for the play-offs. If points were level then most frames won determined their positions. If two players had an identical record then the result in their match determined their positions. If that ended 4–4 then the player who got to four first was higher.http://www.matchroomsport.com/snook4_popup_league_2002.htm Table matchroomsport.com Matchroom Sport https://web.archive.org/web/20030101141017/http://www.matchroomsport.com/snook4_popup_league_2002.htm 1 January 2003http://www.premierleaguesnooker.com/results/2002_results.htm 2002 Results premierleaguesnooker.com Matchroom Sport 2 April 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20121016233158/http://www.premierleaguesnooker.com/results/2002_results.htm 16 October 2012
