Fifteen-year-old Lukas Stötzer (PSSC) claimed victory in the final Grand Prix of the 2025 Austrian Snooker League season in Graz. He defeated Mario Bodlos of host club TSG 4-2 in the final, securing second place in the season rankings.
Oskar Charlesworth of HSEBC Vienna emerged as the season’s top player. Despite an early quarterfinal loss to Bodlos, the lead Charlesworth had carried into the final tournament was enough for him to finish at the top of the seasonal standings for the first time.

Third place in Graz went to Emil Becker (HSEBC), who defeated Josef Wimmer (SCBS) 4-1 in the third-place playoff. The highest break of the tournament was achieved by champion Stötzer, who compiled a break of 88 points.
Referees for the event were Erich Pließnig and Manfred Göllner, with Michael Peyr (TSG) serving as tournament director.
The top 32 players in the 2025 season-end rankings, to be published following the local Challenge-Qualifier events on 22 November, are now confirmed for the ÖSM Qualifier on 29–30 November 2025 at BLZ in Vienna. Additional players may qualify if spots open due to withdrawals from the top 32, so registration for the preliminary rounds of the National Championship is strongly recommended.
