The Order of Merit was used to top up fields for the 2014–15 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.http://www.worldsnooker.com/page/NewsArticles/0%2C%2C13165~3851831%2C00.html Q School ranking list worldsnooker.com 23 May 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140524032225/http://www.worldsnooker.com/page/NewsArticles/0%2C%2C13165~3851831%2C00.html 24 May 2014http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/cc/c1/0%2C%2C13165~180684%2C00.pdf Q School 2014 frames won ranking list worldsnooker.com 25 September 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20140728055052/http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/cc/c1/0%2C%2C13165~180684%2C00.pdf 28 July 2014 The leading players in the Q School Order of Merit are given below.https://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?template=46&season=2013 Q School Order of Merit (2013) - snooker.org www.snooker.org Rank Player Event 1 Event 2 Total1SCO Eden Sharav 20 23 43T2ENG Ashley Carty 18 22 40T2CAN Alex Pagulayan 18 22 404WAL Jamie Clarke23 15 385WAL Daniel Wells 15 19 346IRL John Sutton 20 12 327CHN Chen Zhe 17 15 328ENG Oliver Brown 14 18 329ENG Joe O'Connor 9 21 3010WAL Duane Jones 23 6 29 Two-season performance of qualifiers The following table shows the rankings of the 8 qualifiers from the 2014 Q School, at the end of the 2015–16 snooker season, the end of their two guaranteed seasons on the tour, together with their tour status for the 2016–17 snooker season.
