Chris Turner’s SNOOKER ARCHIVE
World Rankings
The first world rankings were introduced after the 1976 world championship
based on performances in that event only over the previous three years. The
main purpose was to determine the seedings for the next year’s championship.
As more ranking events were introduced in the mid 1980s, the
rankings were based on the last two season’s performance in all ranking events.
Most of the events earned the same points but in order to reflect
their relative importance, the UK Championship and, to a greater extent, the
world championship, carried higher points tariffs than the others.
Although the actual points awarded has changed over the years, the
system itself has remained largely the same ever since.
The full ranking list published after the world championship each season includes all players who are members of the World Snooker Association, even those who are retired, but I have only included the top 32 for each season.
