JOHNSTONE’S sponsor Snooker World Rankings
Johnstone’s Paint has become the sponsor of official world snooker rankings, as part of a far-reaching partnership with the World Snooker Tour.
The Johnstone’s Paint World Rankings is a two-year rolling list that determines the official world number one and the ranking for all 128 tour snooker players. The Johnstone’s Paint One-Year Rankings tracks how much money each player has won during the current season and determines who qualifies for the three events in the Players Series.
Johnstone’s Paint was the lead partner of both the Players Championship and Tour Championship last season, and will now sponsor the sport’s flagship invitation event, the Johnstone’s Paint Masters, for the next three years.
Current world number one Judd Trump said: “There is so much history and prestige connected to our rankings. Every new pro strives to get into the top 64, then the top 16, and eventually to world number one. The various races connected to the rankings create a lot of extra stories during the season and it’s something that players and fans always have their eye on. It’s fantastic to have Johnstone’s Paint on board as the new sponsor of the world rankings. ”
