Barnsley will host 128 players all starting in a flat draw and needing to win seven matches to capture the Steve Davis Trophy.

Among the cue kings who have already entered are:

World Champion and world number one Mark Selby
World number two John Higgins
Top-eight ranked potters Shaun Murphy, Marco Fu, Barry Hawkins and Neil Robertson
Defending champion Liang Wenbo
Snooker legend Jimmy White
