Jason Hogg is the new frontrunner on the UK Q-School Order of Merit (First Stage). After the second day of play, the Scot is on six points with a leg difference of +23.
Christopher Gilliland, Danny Lauby, Andrew Hyland, Scott Campbell, Robert Owen and Stu Wilson are also currently on six points. To reach the final phase of the Q-School, players probably need at least four points. Well-known names such as Kevin McDine (4), Diogo Portela (4), Chas Barstow (4) and Richard North (4) have already complied this amount.

Players like Leighton Bennett (3), Ross Montgomery (3), Jamie Lewis (3), Richie Burnett (2), Paul Hogan (2), Colin Osborne (2), Mark Dudbridge (1), Fallon Sherrock (1) and John Part (1) will have to return on Tuesday to add more points.
Qualification for the final phase is possible by making it to the last eight on one of the three days of action (9-11 January). If that doesn't work, players have to make sure that as many points as possible are won.
Each win in a full round (without byes) is worth a point. Through the UK Q-School Order of Merit from the first stage, 72 players advance to the final stage.
