Prize fund

The breakdown of prize money for this year is shown below:

The "rolling 147 prize" for a maximum break was won at the previous ranking event, the Welsh Open, and so stood at £5,000. The sponsor pledged to double the prize for a 147 break and so the prize was £10,000.[1]

Seeding list

edit
