With only the opening few days of the Vault 18 season complete, it's far too early to draw final conclusions—but one thing is already becoming clear: some venues are attracting exceptionally strong fields.
Using the Q4QS Tournament Strength Rating, we've ranked the ten toughest Vault 18 tournaments played so far based on the overall quality of the field.
These rankings will be updated regularly throughout the season as more tournaments are played.
Current Top 10 Toughest Vault 18 Tournaments
| Rank | Venue | Top 20 Avg |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sartan Club, Bishopsworth (Tuesday) | 70.25 |
| 2 | Bridley Moor & Batchley Social Club, Redditch | 68.31 |
| 3 | Magpies Social Club, Stonehouse | 68.02 |
| 4 | Bagley Sports & Social Club, Shrewsbury | 66.96 |
| 5 | Choughs Hotel, Chard | 66.78 |
| 6 | North Star Club, Calne | 66.57 |
| 7 | Cardigan Rugby Club | 66.36 |
| 8 | Faringdon Football Club | 66.09 |
| 9 | Ambassador Freehouse, Isle of Wight | 66.05 |
| 10 | Simeon Arms, Ryde | 65.51 |
Early Observations
The standout venue after the opening fixtures is undoubtedly The Sartan Club in Bishopsworth, producing the strongest field seen so far with an outstanding Top 20 average of 70.25.
Stonehouse has also made an immediate impact, with Magpies Social Club placing inside the current top three despite the season being only days old.
Several venues are clustered very closely together between 66 and 68, suggesting the battle for the title of the toughest weekly Vault could change rapidly over the coming weeks.
What Makes This Ranking?
The Q4QS Tournament Strength Rating measures the quality of the field entered into each tournament using player ratings across the entire Q4QS database.
It isn't based on prize money, attendance or reputation—only on the strength of the players who actually turned up to compete.
As more Vault 18 events are played, these rankings will continue to evolve, making it fascinating to watch which venues consistently attract the strongest competition.
We'll be publishing updated rankings throughout the season here on QuestForQSchool.com.
