This is a chronological list of snooker minor-ranking tournaments. Ranking tournaments are those that are used for the official system of ranking professional snooker players which is used to determine automatic qualification and seeding for tournaments on the World Snooker Tour. However, in 1992/93 and from 2010/11 to the 2015/16 season there were a number of tournaments which contributed to the world rankings but at a lower rate than standard ranking tournaments. These tournaments are referred to as "minor-ranking tournaments". All the minor-ranking tournaments from 2010 to 2016 were part of the Players Tour Championship. These events are the events included in the list below.
