Another terrific performance from Wee Dean Young. Beats Mitchell Mann 4-1. One win away from joining Frazz in the pro ranks.

Lei Peifan and Duane Jones are already qualified for the tour even if they don't win their final matches. They have already locked up the top two spots in the Order of Merit.
Hammad Miah will hope at least one of them wins as he is next in line. And if both win their matches it's Mitchell Mann who would get the second spot - unless Ian Burns loses his match 3-4, then he and Mann would each stay at 50 frames. Not sure which is the next tie-braker.

this is the link they're using to explain the tie - breaker https://wst.tv/q-school-ranking-list-2/

The full criteria are as follows:

“The Q School 2016 Ranking List has been calculated by awarding 1 point for every frame won. All players who received a bye into Round 2 have been awarded 4 points for round 1. Players who have won the same number of frames are then ranked based on frames won in the 1st event and then frames won in the 2nd event. If still equal, players will be ranked based on the lowest number of frames lost over both events, and if still equal, based on the lowest number of frames lost in the 1st event and then the 2nd event. If still equal, players will be ranked based on the furthest round reached in the 1st event and then the furthest round reached in the second event, and if still equal by frame scores working backwards in the 1st event and then by frame scores working backwards in the 2nd event.”

strange that frames won starts with the 1st event yet lowest number of frames lost is over both events , this is off the old 2 events now three of course.

Dean Young 2 nil up. Average shot time just over 14 seconds. Slow down. No hurry.
Well done Dean. Wins 4-1 and earns the right to join the big boys.

Will be looking out for Dean Young’s results ……the only newbie for next season . Well done to him .

Yes congrats Dean Young , good to see a new player on tour , beat Mitchell Mann in event three and took Lei Peifan to a seventh frame in event two , the goal of course now is to get into the 64 after his second year or at least high enough on the one year list after his second year , Jamie Jones got into the top 64 in his first year after the 2020 q school but he had a lot of experience which makes a huge difference.

Fantastic result for Dean Young, hope he does well with his chance.

Plays in Locarno Snooker Club in Edinburgh and practices with Scott Donaldson. Was coached by Chris Small at one stage. He was invited to play at the Shoot-out a couple of years ago and beat a couple of “names” before losing to Yan Bigtao. It’s on u-tube.

Wow, really complicated. If you look at the Order of Merit position 51 they couldn’t separate Ian Martin and Riley Parsons. They were even even after applying all those rules so ranked them joint 51.
