This championship will be open to all players aged 18 or over, except that any player with EASB "Grade 1" membership is not eligible to enter. Any player who wishes to upgrade their membership to "Grade 1" after entering this event, can only do so once they are eliminated or they must withdraw from this championship. All entries must be endorsed by a club with playing facilities, and matches will be played as drawn on a home or away basis, over the best of seven frames. Early rounds will be drawn on a regional basis, and this format will continue until the last 16 stage, where all remaining players will compete at a central venue to find the two finalists. The final will be played over the best of eleven frames.
