Eight players were seeded. Seedings were determined in early October, before defending champion and top seed Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrew from the event.[28] Other seeds were based on the latest world rankings (revision 3).[9] Later in October, John Higgins was chosen as the final seed, being the highest ranked player who had then qualified and wasn't already seeded.[18] He replaced O'Sullivan in the draw, taking the position allocated for the top seed.[29] Mark Allen was ranked higher than Higgins in these rankings (revision 3) but hadn't qualified at that time.
