The season featured two new ranking events; the Wuxi Classic and the International Championship. The tour has a record five ranking events in China, and three new PTC events in Asia. The tour also visited Bulgaria for the first time in its history, and returned to Poland, Belgium and Australia. Before the start of the season, World Snooker requested every player to sign a players contract that would allow players to choose which events they want to enter – no player is forced to play in any event.
