The World Open is set to get underway tomorrow, with the World Grand Prix and Players Championship scheduled for next month.
SEVERAL top stars are at risk of missing out on automatic seeding at this year's World Snooker Championship.
As defending champion, Kyren Wilson has already secured the top seed despite being behind runaway leader Judd Trump in the rankings.
The top 16 players in the rankings, calculated by prize money earned across two years, will secure seedings at the Crucible, thus avoiding qualifying.
Next up are Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Selby, Mark Williams and Luca Brecel, with the quartet very strongly placed.
