Eight players will be seeded through to Stage 2 (Sunday) of each weekend based on their finishing positions on the 2022/23 Under-21 Premier Development Tour. These players will be required to pay a block entry fee of £150 at the start of the season and are as follows:

  • Oliver Sykes
  • Samuel Lee Stevens
  • Paul Deaville

We will aim to publish the draw for each event at least three days prior to the start. 

Format

The English Junior Tour will comprise five two-day weekend events throughout the season, to be open to all age-eligible players as follows:

  • Five two-day tournaments
  • Saturday: First Group stage (no seeding) to produce eight qualifiers, who will join eight players seeded straight to the Sunday
  • Sunday: Second Group stage (maximum two seeds per group), followed by KO rounds (QF, SF, F).

All group stage matches will be played over the best of 3 frames, with knockout matches to be played over the best of five frames.
