The players are randomly drawn into two round robin groups. The draw is done on the morning of the event. All round robin matches are the best-of-three frames.
The top two players from each group will qualify for the semi-final knockouts. The winner of Group A will play runner-up of Group B and the winner of Group B will play the runner-up of Group A.
