Unlike subsequent Q Schools, qualifiers were only guaranteed a single season on the tour. Since the world rankings were determined over two seasons, new players were given "starter points" to compensate them (see Snooker world ranking points 2011/2012). Players in the top-64 of the rankings retained their place on the tour while those outside the top-64 lost their place unless they qualified under a different category.http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/45/a4/0,,13165~173125,00.pdf The Tour 2012/2013 season provisional qualifying criteria World Snooker 1 October 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20120510015929/http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/45/a4/0,,13165~173125,00.pdf 10 May 2012Tour Players 2012/2013 http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/1d/b5/0,,13165~177437,00.doc DOC World Snooker 1 October 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20130616134513/http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/1d/b5/0,,13165~177437,00.doc 16 June 2013 DOC Player End of 2011–12 season Status for 2012–13 season Points RankingAndrew Norman ENG 18,000 78 AmateurDavid Grace ENG 17,565 80 Qualified through the PTC Order of MeritPTC Order of Merit after PTC event 12 http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/ae/98/0,,13165~170158,00.pdf worldsnooker.com World Snooker 9 January 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120121073318/http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/ae/98/0%2C%2C13165~170158%2C00.pdf 21 January 2012Adam Wicheard ENG 15,715 85 AmateurRobin Hull FIN 10,925 94 AmateurLi Yan CHN 20,215 68 Qualified through the PTC Order of MeritDavid Morris IRL 18,835 73 AmateurSimon Bedford ENG 12,970 89 Qualified through the PTC Order of MeritTian Pengfei CHN 17,280 81 Qualified as Chinese nomineeKurt Maflin NOR 18,450 74 Qualified through the PTC Order of MeritStuart Carrington ENG 11,545 92 AmateurAdam Duffy ENG 20,865 62 Retained place on tourDavid Gilbert ENG 23,420 57 Retained place on tour References Category:Q School (snooker) Category:2011 in English sport Category:2011 in snooker Category:Sports competitions in Sheffield
