Seedings

This is the current seeding list (for the UK Championship, the Shoot Out and the German Masters), updated after the 2026 International Championship. In every tournament the defending champion is the #1 seed, the world champion is the #2 seed and the rest are seeded according to the list below.

Top 64 at season-end is secured a spot on next season's Tour. The top 4 in the season list (yellow) not already qualified will also earn cards. Those in green are safe with two-year cards. See also the official list (WST). We have also stored the older lists.
