The draw was randomised before each round. All matches were played over a single frame, each of which lasted up to 10 minutes. The event featured a variable shot clock; shots played in the first five minutes were allowed 15 seconds while the final five had a 10-second timer. All foul shots awarded the opponent a ball in hand. Unlike traditional snooker, if a ball did not hit a cushion on every shot, it was a foul. Rather than a coin toss, a lag was used to choose which player break off breaks. In the event of a draw, each player received a shot at the blue ball this is known as a "blue ball shootout". The player who pots potted the ball with the cue ball from inside the D and the blue ball on its spot with the opponent missing won the match.
