Q School (snooker)

The Q School is an amateur snooker competition which serves as the qualification process for the World Snooker Tour.

Overview
See also: World Snooker Tour

The Q School was established in an attempt to streamline the qualification process for the World Snooker Tour. A series of play-offs are run every year before the season. Players pay a fixed entry fee to enter the play-off events, and there is no prize money. Each player who wins a quarter-final game qualifies for a two-year tour card on the Main Tour.[1]

Winners by event

For each event, four winners which qualified for the World Snooker Tour are listed.
