2013 Q School

A Q School Order of Merit was produced for players who didn't qualify from the three events. The Order of Merit was used to top up fields for the 2013–14 snooker season where an event failed to attract the required number of entries. The rankings in the Order of Merit were based on the number of frames won in the three Q School events. Players who received a bye into the second round were awarded four points for round one. Where players were equal, those who won the most frames in the first event were ranked higher and, if still equal, the player with most frames in event two.^[12]

The leading players in the Q School Order of Merit are given below.^[13]
