I've gone for a simple format:
- Below is the draw for the First Round of games, split into those to be played on Friday night and those to be played on Saturday afternoon.
- To enter simply post your selection of two players - you must pick one player from the 'left' side of the draw (for example, Steve Davis), and one player from the 'right' (for example, Barry Hawkins), and you must pick one player that is playing on Friday, and one player that is playing on Saturday. You can not pick a player that has already been selected by someone else, so make sure before posting.
- Once you've picked, you can not change your selection.
- All points that your players score in the tournament (even in the game in which they are knocked out), goes towards your total score. The highest total score wins.
