Hotel loyalty bonus; each time you book to stay at a hotel through Supreme Pool Promotions, you receive £10 off of your Grand final event fee, you receive this also if you live within 20 miles of the venue, book for all four events and you will only pay £30.

Places will be limited to 128 and we will continue with our seeding system. The top 16 from 2007 will be offered their seeding places for this year.

We will continue with our unique handicap system too, it certainly levels up the playing fields, described in basic, all matches over 15 frames;
Pro players and top class amateurs are on scratch.
Amateur players will be seeded according to their ability, with consideration also in rankings, tournament performances, experience and player reference. They will be on either, Scratch, +1,+2 or +3. Ladies too recieve incentives, they are on a bonus frame and therefore on a +4 (non Pro status, past or present).

Start times will apply, two rounds played on the Saturday, last 32 on Sunday. There will be Friday events and a Plate event on each Sunday. World Rules apply, no dress codes.
