For the preliminary round, the field was again divided into eight groups, each of which only consisted of four players. They played against each other in round robin mode, the two best reached the round of 16. Based on the number of points and the frame difference, the direct comparison decided on the placement. Stephen Maguire was the only player who got stuck despite two wins, conversely Ryan Day was the only one who only got one win for a place in the elimination round.
