The world rankings at the end of the Championship will determine the seeding for all three Masters tournaments at the same time, firstly determining the 16 tickets and top eight seeds for the Masters, and secondly the 32 seeds for the European Masters and German Masters.
Starting with the 2017/2018 season, if there are fewer than 128 professional players with world rankings enrolled in a tournament, players on the Q School Unseeded Ranking List for that year will voluntarily be entered by replacement. Invitation wild card holders are included in the world ranking list at the same prize money amount as active professional players to determine seeding positions.
The seeding for major ranking events is determined by the World Snooker Limited rules, combined with the WSF World Rankings at each point in the season. Both the European Masters and the German Masters are limited to 128 players, and this season the European Masters and the German Masters are seeded at 32, as on the British Isles Tour. 32 is the perfect serpentine position, and the seeding is the same as on the British Isles Tour. The top seed is the defending champion, the No. 2 seed is the current world champion, this season is Trump, the No. 3 seed and beyond according to the world ranking from the highest to the lowest, in the case of the No. 1, the No. 2 seed will be crossed over.

It is the defending champion who is the top seed, who is currently ranked 22nd in the world (both post-British Championship), the German Masters "Warrior
"K Wilson is the defending champion as the top seed and he is currently ranked 8th in the world, so of the top 32 seeds in these two tournaments, world rankings 1 to 7 are all pushed back one place to become seeds 2 to 8. Regardless of their results in the Championships, in the European Masters and German Masters they are all in the same 1/16th division, and if the top 7 in the world rankings in these two tournaments and their seeded opponents both make it through the pre-Christmas qualifying round of 32, they will meet consecutively (assuming that the top 32 in the world rankings all register for both legs). This is the downside of having one world-ranked seeding node seeding two ranked tournaments. At the beginning of the season, although the Daqing International Championships and the China Championships belonged to two different seeding nodes, sandwiched between the Riga Masters, due to the small prize money of the Riga tournament, a lot of big names did not go there for various reasons, and there was little change in the top 32 of the world ranking before and after the two nodes, resulting in some players meeting consecutively in the round of 64 and the round of 32 of these two tournaments.
As this season's newly created European Tour (European Masters, German Masters, single-limit tournaments and the Gibraltar Open and other four stops) prize money ranking list of the first prize money value for money than the Coral Cup Tour, the former winner of the total prize money of ￡260,000, the first prize of ￡150,000, the latter winner of the total prize money of ￡375,000, the first prize of only ￡100,000, and the winner of these two tournaments The winner of the latter has a total prize money of ￡375,000 and a winner's prize of only ￡100,000, and the prizes of these two tournaments are the highest in the whole European Tour.
The European Masters and German Masters signing rules are as follows (the top 32 seeds signing rules are the same as for the Championships):
The top 32 by provisional world ranking after the British Championship (if they all play) sign up at the European Masters as follows:
The top 32 by provisional world ranking after the British Championship (if they all play) sign up at the German Masters as follows:
At the moment, it is estimated that entries should be closed, and within a day or two of the British Championship, World Snooker will announce the European Masters and German Masters signings and qualifying fixtures. As the season starts with the Scottish Open, followed by the European Masters and German Masters qualifying rounds, and is too close to Christmas, it is estimated that some players who have no hope of getting a Grand Prix ticket, or relegation, or can't get a Schengen visa for Germany (this is an important point, not all players can get it) will give up their participation and reunite with their families in advance to kick off the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Williams (name)
He will be attending the European Masters and the German Masters, where he appears on the posters, just as "Rocket" O'Sullivan appears on the posters of the British Isles Tour, endorsed by sponsor Nine19.com, for the first three stops of the British Isles Tour. It will begin with two rounds of qualifying in Barnsley, England, from December 17-22, 2019, with 96 two-round qualifying matches played over each three-day period to determine 32 players each to travel to the small town of Dornbirn in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg and to Berlin, Germany, in late January next year. This is the biggest difference between the European Masters and German Masters and other ranking tournaments this season that require qualifying first, which usually only takes place in one round, and even the Daqing International Championship, which has a winner's prize money this season that exceeds the combined winner's prize money of the European Masters and the German Masters, has not been able to enjoy scheduling only 32 players to travel to its home course in Daqing.
The European Masters and German Masters qualifiers have had a tighter schedule this season, with the German Masters qualifier in the first two seasons being the last pro-am before Christmas, and the 96 matches in the two qualifying rounds scheduled to be played over four days.
The 2016 European Masters qualifying tournament was organized in such a way that the second qualifying round for the defending champion, the world champion, plus two popular players was scheduled to be held on Romania's home turf. It is unclear what arrangements will be made for the qualifying rounds of the 2020 European Masters and German Masters.
The 2020 European Masters and German Masters are sponsored by bookmaker Vader BRTVICTOR.
