World Championship 2020: Tour Survival Blog

The start of the 2020 Betfred World Championship qualifiers is almost upon us and it is time for my annual live blog which will track the key movements in this season’s tour survival race throughout the tournament.

For those who can finish up inside of the top 64, or in the top four of the one-year ranking list, not including those players, a place on tour for at least next season will be their reward. For the others however, they will need to come through Q School next month if they are to retain professional status.

Live Standings

The full two year breakdown can be found here, however below I have reproduced a simplified list to show only the players fighting for their main tour status, which will be updated with players being ‘struck out’ as the tournament progresses to show the current live position.

• Players in dark green are currently inside the top 64 provisionally and as it stands will remain on tour
• Players in blue are currently set to qualify through the one-year list
• Players in red are currently set to be relegated from the tour
• Players in purple are on the first-year of a two-year card
• Players with their names struck through are out of the Betfred World Championship
