World Snooker and WPBSA have made the decision to alter the number of tour cards available at 2014 Q School from 12 to 8.

This decision has been made as a consequence of the global expansion of the sport and the increased demand for tour places from international players.
Q School, which takes place in May at the Capital Venue in Gloucester, will therefore award tour cards to each of the eight semi-finalists in two tournaments, rather than twelve over three tournaments as in previous years.
The entry fee for Q School has been reduced from £1,000 to £600.
