The unique tournament produces thrilling fast and furious snooker action. Televised by ITV4, it’s a one-frame knockout format and all matches last a maximum of ten minutes, with a shot clock of 15 seconds for the first five minutes and ten seconds for the last five. Drama on the green baize is guaranteed, with many matches going down to the last few seconds.
And this year it’s a world ranking event for the first time. There will be 128 players all aiming for the £32,000 top prize, and the random draw has now been made.
