Mark Davis was the champion of the previous event. However he was not eligible for this year's edition, as it was exclusively for non-tour players. Snooker Legends organised the event for the first time having replaced the WPBSA who previously sanctioned the event. Peter Lines won the tournament without losing a single frame. He beat John Parrott 4–0 in the final.
