Format

All events are run over 2 days. All players MUST be at the venue at least 30 minutes before their allocated match time. Dont be late, as ALL EPT events are run to a tight schedule, and there will be no exceptions.


Registration Deadline

The DEADLINE for entries will be on the Wednesday before the event at MIDNIGHT. The Closing Date for entries to The 2007 London Open is Wednesday 28th March 2007.

The draw will be made on the THURSDAY afternoon before the event, so that players can make their travel arrangements accordingly.

Play will start at 11:00am.

All events will be American 8-Ball.

All events will be a race to 10 racks (subject to change), alternate break.

All events will be single elimination.

Specific match times will be given to each and every player. Players must be at the Arena 30 minutes before thier allocated match time, this means that every player knows exactly when he/she needs to be at the arena for thier matches. If a player is NOT present when his/her match is due to start will lose 1 rack, and then 1 further rack after every 15 minutes.

As the EPT runs to a strict schedule, there will be no practice time allowed before a match. Once both players are at the table the match must begin.

The amount of players that will return on the Sunday for the final KO stage depends on the amount of entrants into that particular event.
