1990–91 snooker world rankings

(Redirected from Snooker world rankings 1990/1991)

The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA), the governing body for professional snooker, first introduced a ranking system for professional players in 1976, with the aim of seeding players for the World Snooker Championship.[2] The reigning champion would be automatically seeded first, the losing finalist from the previous year seeded second, and the other seedings based on the ranking list.[2] Initially, the rankings were based on performances in the preceding three world championships.[2] The 1983–84 snooker world rankings were the first to take tournaments other than world championship into account, and several additional tournaments were designated as ranking tournaments over the following years.[3][2] The list for the 1986–87 snooker season was the first to only take account of results over two seasons, and the rankings for 1990–91 were also based on results from the preceding two seasons.[4][5]

Stephen Hendry (pictured in 2010) topped the rankings for the first time.[1]
Steve Davis playing snooker
Steve Davis (pictured in 2008), who had been the number-one ranked player for the preceding seven years, was ranked second.[1]

Steve Davis, who had held the number one ranking since the 1983–84 list,[1] withdrew from three ranking events held outside of the UK in the 1989–90 season.[6] He commented that he felt that the increase in the number of ranking events was too rapid, and said that "I won't jeapordise my form just for the sake of staying at number one. If I lose my number one place, that's the price I have to pay."[7] The other seven players managed by Barry Hearn's Matchroom company also boycotted the 1989 Dubai Classic.[7] Because of this, a number of "non-tournament" players, usually only allowed to play in the World Championship, were given places in the Dubai Classic.[8]

Alex Higgins was ranked 14th in the original list for the season, but was docked 25 points and banned from competing for ten months, in July 1990.[9]

Ranking was determined as follows:[4]

  • By number of ranking points.
  • If players had an equal number of ranking points, precedence was given to the player with the better performances in the later season.
  • If players were still equal, merit points were considered. If they were still tied, precedence was given to the player with the better performances in the later season.
  • If players were still equal, A points were considered. If they were still tied, precedence was given to the player with the better performances in the later season.
  • If players were still equal, frames won were considered. If they were still tied, precedence was given the player with the better performances in the later season.
