With the end of the Gibraltar Open, the tour tournament signing schedule and the World Championship line-up were finalized. At the last minute, Higgins saved his qualifying for the Tour Championship. Yan Bingtao avoided the World Championship qualifiers without any danger, becoming the last player to pass through Crucible with his seed status.
The Tour Championship, which runs from 28 March to 3 April, is a championship prize funding of up to £150,000 that only the top eight players in a single season can participate in. Zhao Xintong will play as the no. 1 seed, O'Sullivan and Williams staged an infighting between the "75 Three Masters" in the first round, and Higgins saved his qualification in the last minute.

All but 16 seeded players will join Q Scool's top eight players and 16 WPBSA-nominated amateurs for the World Championships qualifiers on April 4-13. At present, the list of participants in the World Championship qualification has been determined, including Ding Junhui, Wafi, Gilbert, Zhou Yuelong, Fu Jiajun and many other powerful players; it is a little regrettable that Hendry did not register, and his short and slightly absurd comeback may also end here.
The World Championship Qualifiers will be conducted as follows
Round 1: 81-112 players, against 113-144 players, grab 6.
Round 2: The 32 winners of Round 1, against the world number 49-80 players, grab 6.
Round 3: Round 2 32 winners against world number 17-48 players, grab 6.
Round 4: Round 3 32 winners fight each other, 16 winners advance to the main tournament, grab 10.
