Zhao Xintong is at the top of the single-season rankings, and Yan Bingtao needs to work hard to secure a place for players in the championship

On December 15, the World Taiwan Federation news, with the snooker Scottish Open battle, the 2021-22 season single season ranking ushered in an update, Belgian star Brechel with the 70,000 pounds of championship prize money won by defeating Higgins in Scotland, rose from the fourth place in a single season to the second place, runner-up Higgins received a prize of 30,000 pounds, O'Sullivan reached the semifinals, and the single-season ranking rose from fifth to fourth. Another semi-finalist, McGill, also jumped from twenty-second to fourteenth.

The top 16 players in a single season can participate in the Players' Championship, which will take place at Wolverhampton from 7 to 13 February 2022. After this week's World Grand Prix, there are two ranking tournaments, the Single Time Limited Time Tournament and the German Masters, to be held in January next year. At present, the first place in the single season is still the British Championship champion Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao ranked 16th with a single season of 45,500 pounds, whether he can keep the players' championship seat is not yet known.

The final stop of the "Red Packet Tournament" is the Tour Championship in Llandudno, Wales, from 28 March to 3 April 2022, which will be played by players in the top eight in a single season.

In the total prize money ranking, Bressel climbed from 18th to 15th, but unfortunately the Masters ranking was only calculated until the end of the British Championship, causing Bressel to miss the Masters qualification. Higgins moved up from seventh to sixth and Mark Selby remained in first place, leading Judd Trump by £43,000.

In the BetVictor Series rankings, Higgins finished three times (Northern Ireland Open, English Open and Scottish Open) with a total of £90,000 in prize money. There are also five races in the series, and at the end of all eight series, the top runner in the series will receive an additional £150,000. Bressell was second in the series prize table with £84,000, followed by Neil Robertson at £74,000 and Mark Allen in fourth with £70,000. It can be seen that the competition for the huge prizes in the series is also becoming white-hot, and it may not be until the Gibraltar Open next March to finally see the score.
