Английская Википедия:2021–22 Q Tour
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox snooker season The 2021–22 Q Tour was a series of snooker tournaments that took place during the 2021–22 snooker season. The Q Tour is the second-tier tour, run by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, for players not on the main World Snooker Tour.[1] Initially announced in July 2020, the tour was delayed by a year and started in late 2021.[2]
A series of four events were organised with the leading money-winner gaining a place on the main tour for the 2022–23 snooker season. Si Jiahui led the list but had already got a place on tour, so Sean O´Sullivan, who finished second, got the place. The 16 highest-ranked players who had not already got a place on the main tour for the 2022–23 season, gained entry to a further event, the WPBSA Q Tour Playoff, the winner of which also got a place. Julien Leclercq won this event, beating Alex Clenshaw 5–2 in the final.
Format
Except for the playoff, events were played over three days. The first day was an open qualifying day with 16 places available. The main draw started on the second day when the 16 qualifiers were joined by the 48 seeded players who qualified based on their rankings in the 2021 Q School Order of Merit to make a first round field of 64 players. There were 3 rounds on the second day and a further three on the final day, to determine the winner of the event. The 48 who qualify directly included the top 40 ranked players not currently on the main tour and a further 8 under-21 players outside this top 40.[3]
Prize fund
Each event featured a prize fund of £12,000 with the winner receiving £2,500.[4]

- Semi-final: £750

Two rounds were played each day with matches over 7 frames except for the final which was over 9 frames. The draw was seeded, based on the final rankings.[20][21] Julien Leclercq won the event, beating Alex Clenshaw 5–2 in the final. Leclercq scored three centuries in his opening match against Alfie Lee, and reached the final with further wins against Michael Georgiou and Harvey Chandler.
