 Snooker world rankings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The snooker world rankings are a system of ranking professional snooker players.
Unlike dynamic ranking systems such as the World golf rankings, the snooker rankings remain constant throughout the season (from the end of one world championship to the end of the next).
Over the next few years, results from the Jameson International, the Professional Players tournament (later known as the LG Cup, now the Grand Prix), the Lada Classic, the UK Championship and the British Open were added to the ranking formula.

He hobbled into Pontins, Prestatyn, ahead of the LG Cup qualifiers, supported on two crutches and looked at the three flights of stairs to the playing arena on the eve of his match, declaring sadly "If I start climbing now, I might just get up there by 4pm in time for my match".

There were several low points during a typically turbulent season for O'Sullivan - notably surprise defeats to Mark Selby in the quarter-finals of the China Open and Barry Hawkins in the first round of the Regal Scottish.
His most painful reverse was at the Benson and Hedges Masters at Wembley in February when - in front of one of the most raucous snooker crowds in living memory - he led fellow crowd hero Jimmy White 5-2 but was denied a semi-final spot as the Whirlwind came back to win 6-5.
Arsenal fan O'Sullivan made the fifth professional 147 break of his career at the LG Cup last season and has made five of the fastest six maximums on record.
