The group of competitors has been enlarged by Roland Scholten, Peter Manley, Terry Jenkins, Ronnie Baxter and Les Wallace.[6] Glen Durrant received an invitation to take part in this tournament after his official retirement from a professional career.[7]
More contestants were announced in December. The invitation to participate in the tournament was accepted by Bob Anderson, Larry Butler, David Cameron, Neil Duff, Kevin Painter, Tony O'Shea and Darryl Fitton.[8] Two days later, the seed list was announced.[9]
