The Order of Merit was used to top up fields for the 2015–16 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/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Click-here-for-the-Q-School-ranking-list.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20200222031806/https://wst.tv/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Click-here-for-the-Q-School-ranking-list.pdf dead 22 February 2020 Q School 2015 frames won ranking list worldsnooker.com 24 September 2023 The leading players in the Q School Order of Merit are given below.https://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?template=46&season=2014 Q School Order of Merit (2014) - snooker.org www.snooker.org Luke Simmonds and Zhao Xintong tied for the leading position, and were selected at random for a top-up place, where only one was available.
