Tournament Information

• Each match will be played over five frames, with a point scored for each frame won
• Each team will be made up of five players, with a maximum of one professional player who will give an 18-points start when competing against an amateur. Should an amateur player turn professional during the event (e.g. Q School) and prior to the Grand Finals, they will be treated as a professional player from that point.
