The top 24 from the European Tour and the top 2 from the Asian Tour qualified for the finals, plus 6 more from a combination of both lists. Mark Selby withdrew for personal reasons and was replaced in the draw by Matthew Selt.[2]
The seeding list of the finals was based on the combined list from the earnings of both Orders of Merit.
