The field of participants at this tournament consists of all finalists at televised tournaments in the past year. In addition, all Euro Tour winners, several Players Championship winners, several winners of championships and secondary rankings and eight winners of the Tour Card qualifying tournament may also compete.
Based on the lineup, the pots that will form the draw are now also clear. On Monday, Nov. 3, the draw will be made for the event, which will compete for the coveted Eric Bristow Trophy.
The 32 participants are divided into eight groups of four players each. This draw is done based on the players' positions in the world rankings. The top eight in the world rankings are seeded, and thus cannot meet in the group stage.
